For leasure in canberra... there is a Museum, a the national Galary, and the parliament house... it can be interesting if you know where your going, realy...

But also, in Canberra, in Mid February, it is not bound to be Hot and sunny... it might be, but more likely you will find it cold. It will probably not have temparatures higher than 45'C... if that.
Yes, I consider that VERY hot... but u mighnt...

ha, in Auckland it could hail and freeze over in the morning, and then be hot enough to go swimming at the beach in the afternoon!

Lennon...You are not to go anywhere near the cities that Mistral will be in.

AzureWolf, look after her for me. If you see any shapechanging elf-things...kill first, ask questions later.

Any other Aussie that wants full pay and benefits will proceed to be my secret agents against LennonCook and protect Mistral at all cost, even to the laying down of your own lives, is necassary.

You will be well rewarded...

Beautiful for going to the beach - about 25-35 Centigrade - 77-95 F around Feb. It's not normally humid in Sydney - it tends to be dry and hot, much drier than around the equator. Up north (Queensland) it's a lot muggier and more what you're used to - it's almost a tropical clime there in summer. Bring lots of sunscreen as the sun is very strong here and you will be exposed to a lot of UV (no pollution to filter it out). At night it can get quite chilly in February - bring a jacket.

That's Sydney weather for you! We *can* get four seasons in one day - cloudless blue skies in the morning, a storm front moving in by noon, heavy showers in the early afternoon, clearing to blue skies again by late afternoon ahead of a cool change in the evening where the mercury can drop by 10 deg C. Makes it a bit hard to plan what to wear - but 90% of the time you'll find it sunny, clear blue skies.

You should consider going to Sydney while you're here - it's only a 3 1/2 hour drive from Canberra (or a short plane hop) and will be well worth your time. Canberra's like Washington DC; Sydney's like New York City.

Thanks everyone!

Ooh, I'm starting to get rather excited about my trip after all. But what I want to know is, would a trench coat look totally out of place at this time of the year, even during the occasional bursts of cool weather? I do not want to make a fool of myself... [img]graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Thanks again for all your patience, everyone

Oh wow, that is very kind of you, Larry [img]smile.gif[/img] I just hope my colleagues won't be staring at me in bewilderment as random creatures collapse dead before our very eyes. Let me rehearse my explanation here... "Well... you see... erm... drinks, anyone??" [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

Well I cant really say mistral...weather is really strange here, you can have all 4 seasons in one day, literally. Maybe someone else could say more than "flip a coin".
