    Can be hit and miss...I had two weeks last June in Sydney, the Blue Mountains and went about 100K north to Brisbane Water National Park and the weather was very random. 15 degrees with rain and cloud one day, 20 degree heat the next. Plan for all eventualities, it will still be better weather then Ireland probably :)

    Cairns is always pretty warm AFAIK.

    That would be a much better option, once you get lower than brisbane at that time of year its gonna be cold

    Even Brisbane is cold when your acclimatised to summer heat. I type this as I sit on the couch in my jocks with the air conditioning on.
