August is horrible down there. My daughter got married in August 2009, I remember the week after I had to leave to drive up here, the fog went from Echuca to Deniliquin without a break and every stop up the Newell we stayed in caravan parks cabins and froze, Ice on the car in the morning as well.
Should have added, the day of the wedding was such a huge frost but the sun came out for the wedding thank goodness. The rest of the month was cold and wet.

Going back down to Vic in November. Don't have to go down in Aug/Sept now. Managed to get out of that trip, thank goodness.
Hope to take about a month and see all the interesting places I missed out on coming up to Qld in April.
Hoping to meet up with others along the way. See you all out there in the playground.
Oh, also, hoping to head north a bit now that I don't have to go south early now. Kids are arriving on Tuesday for just on two weeks, then I am free to do what I want for 3 months.
Yes Pauline, wasn't looking forward to going back down to the cold weather. Also couldn't really afford two trips, one in Aug/Sep then one for the summer in November. We are going to have a 1st birthday party for bubs while he is up here which works out better as son here and grandkids here would have missed out down there anyway.
Gee that is not what I was hoping to hear, weather, looks like we are going to be leaving Mackay in the next week and heading to Victoria...............HELPPPPPPPP.
