I was in Sydney during Black Saturday. It was 35° in CBD, over 40° in the western suburbs. Surfing was no fun due to the strange offshore winds brought on by the heat wave.

Since then I've only been back in autumn and winter, and the weather is always pleasant in SE Queensland, and chilly but not cold in Sydney. It was downright freezing in Melbourne when I was there in July 2011, with my thin summer blood! We will be in Sydney and Brisbane in early April, can't wait!

We actually got married right on the beach there years back.

Super amazing trip.

We walked down a path in NSW and I have never felt that sort of heat before. It actually felt dangerous. If you passed out on that path you would be in very bad shape or dead.

That is if the snakes and spiders don't get you first............oh yea and the sharks.

The alcohol in your Bundaberg boils off before you get a chance to chuck in the ice.

An average of the conditions described, and the conditions we have had for the last month in southern Ontario, would probably work out about right.
