Definately summer. I go down there from NQ every year to get away from the wet season. I love Tathra, Narooma, Beermagui, and the hinterland. If you don,t mind a few dirt roads, go to Botangabee bay, in the Green cape national park. Great bush camping, and good fishing.

Late spring could be very pleasant - country still fairly green. Avoid summer school holiday period. Feb-May warmer, but drier.

The Shepparton area is really nice in spring, as is the Bega Valley, but I dont know about the Victorian coast at that time of year, could be a tad windy. The sea-water is warmer for swimming along the Southern NSW/Vic coast after the Christmas holidays till about May.
In the Bega area, my favourite place is Tathra or Bermagui, and dont miss Eden either. Theres oysters farming in Pambula, cheese factory in Bega, lots of arty places everywhere.
Whenever you go, enjoy! And give Tathra my love!
