Hello everyone. Please help. We are planning to leave Perth for NSW in August this year but was told yesterday that it would be way too cold. We anticipate coming home before Christmas. We are raw at this and not gone longer than 6 days in our van.
I live in Inverell NSW which is northern west NSW and today it was in the minus! Holy batcave it is cold today and I had to be at the doctor at 8am that's not right I tell you lol. But in all honesty I love the cold more than I love the hot weather, because for me it is easier to warm up but harder to cool down, hence that is the main reason we left the Gold Coast to live here so we could get some cold weather. My hot water bottle is my bestie in the cold weather without a doubt. It really depends on if you like the cold or not so it comes down to personal preference

If you have to be back by Xmas , I'd be leaving in August . ( or sooner )
Otherwise you won't have a lot of time . Plenty of people out there travelling in the cold weather .
One of the experiences you will have when you travel is the differences in our country. Weather is just one of them.
Many travel to see the snow and THAT is cold but if you carry warm clothes and be sensible you will enjoy whatever you get. The rain is hard to take but that;s everywhere at the moment.
The different seasons and therefore temperatures of different areas defines their flora and fauna along with other things LOL.
Some like the hot and some like the cold and some don't care as long as they are on the road.
It is similar to the debate on whether you stay on the coast or go inland, whether to go through the middle or up north and bush or 4x4 or 2 wheel drive etc etc.
We are all different and if you don't try then you don't know. Just depends whether you are happy with your lot or do you want to try.
Regards

We drove accross the Nullarbor from WA early September, it was quite warm, and the whales at the Head of bight were still there then, but have to avoid the highlands in NSW until November! (or maybe January, unless you have a heater?
Your return to WA in Dec will be pretty warm.

I wouldn't let a little cold weather put me off Kerry and Bruce. It'll only be cold for a short while.
Just make sure you have a lovely warm doona, covered hot water bottles and some thermal unders.
A small fan heater will also come in handy when you are on power.
We have been in Perth in Sept ,08. It was far colder than we have in NSW on the mid north coast for that time of year .
We are on almost the same parralell as perth, that leaves the bottom half of NSW & all of Vic below us to soak up the cold weather from the south.
Any time is a good time & too long is never long enough. LOL
JC.
any time is a good time if you are on holidays.
