Yup, I know it will be winter ! Actually my DH is in NZ right now and they are having tremendous storms.
My DH has been there 5-6 times. This is my DD and my second trip. We went for 3 weeks in 99 and spent time in Sydney (torongo zoo, blue mountains,aqaurium, harbor cruise etc) a week split between Cairns and Port Douglas(reef, rainforest, Kuranda)and a week in Brisbane(stayed with family and visited schools, gardens, Bribie island, Dreamworld).
This trip we are doing Sydney/Cairns/Brisbane/Melbourne. It is partly a work trip for DH.
Thanks, I plan to have fun in the cold!
