This trip was varied and very interesting. Wendy had not been to many of the places in Victoria, so that was all very new and interesting, including the art galleries and museums! Greg had not visited them in ages, so he enjoyed it as well.
The temperatures down south can vary dramatically during this period. It can be very hot and in future we will go either before or after the real summer months. It can however, also be quite cold as experienced. We will certainly avoid the school holiday period and Australia Day holiday as it is just too crowded and exceptionally noisy.
On the home front, it is probably not a good idea to be away from home for too long during the rainy season as the place just turns into a jungle, despite the best efforts from the neighbours and the kangaroos. About four weeks away would be about right.
Notwithstanding all that, we had a fantastic nine weeks trekking around the country.
