    WHat a wonderful surprise. I would say that the best time for you to come here would be our southern summer time, your winter....miss out on some of the UK cold:) So anywhere from November to March. You could come over and do an Aussie Christmas with the family and enjoy our beaches and BBQ's:)

    Personally, I'm at odds with Anne. I'm an autumn, winter (try 20 degrees in the middle of the day) and spring fan. Summer's a bit too hot for me but, if you want a swim then I have to agree that's the best time for it. She won't recognize the CBD around the wharf area, so much has changed. It's now a people town rather than an industrial one. Whatever time you come, enjoy. Cheers.
