The days are often in the 30's, although usually the nights are a bit cooler. It is a fairly casual city. I think shorts and light tops are perfectly acceptable. Perhaps a light jacket in case it is cool in the evening or early morning. When I first moved here I got caught out by dressing for the morning temperature and sweltering by lunchtime. However, most big buildings will have AC (which I always find MUCH too cool!). Don't forget your swimsuit. The beaches will be great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-pack-for-2-month-trip-to-australia-december-january#post-755057 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 07:43:40 +0000 ElleH 755057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't taken a trip that long in many years. I've gotten good at the smaller trips but the all weather, all event trips require a lot of clothes. Thank God Qantas allow 2 x 70 pound suitcases. Trouble is I need to do a lot of internal travel with them so I need to keep it manageable. Only me to schlep them. Hubby has to stay &amp; work &amp; will only meet me for 2 weeks over Christmas. </p> <p>I remember when I first did the Aussie round world trip in 92. I had a backpack with a pair of low top doc martens, 2 pairs of levi 501s, a leather motorcycle jacket, rayban wayfarers, 4 baggy t-shirts, waterproof top I made that wasn't waterproof at the seams lol, a polar fleece sweater I made. I bought some high top reeboks &amp; a water proof Walkman when I arrived. I always felt like I never had enough clothes when I stayed in one place long enough to see the same people over &amp; over but I didn't have enough room to carry more. I did buy some black hotpants &amp; bodycon top when I got to London &amp; needed an outfit for clubbing haha &amp; a black wool benneton pencil skirt, white shirt &amp; loafers to wear to work temping at Selfridges. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-pack-for-2-month-trip-to-australia-december-january#post-755056 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 07:31:34 +0000 ElleH 755056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah I will be in Ballarat Dec 8 &amp; again Christmas or Boxing Day at least. I have an aunt there. I arrive in Melbourne dec 6 &amp; my mother will be on holiday in guess where? Bendigo, so I have to see if one of my old Melbourne friends can pick me up &amp; put me up for a couple of nights &amp; then I need to find my way to Ballarat for my Aunt's 60th on the 8th. I will pm you my email address &amp; if you want you can pm me your number. I would love to meet up. As it gets closer &amp; I know what I'm packing I will see if I have room to bring something if you want anything from here. I know it's hard to shop for clothes that you can't try on but maybe a shoe that you know fits cos its a classic or a scarf or something. Make-up &amp; perfume are cheaper here too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-pack-for-2-month-trip-to-australia-december-january#post-754663 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 21:28:14 +0000 Caro in Oz 754663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Temperatures can be anywhere from 70F to 100F so lots of layers Unless you are travelling for business I wouldn't bring too much in the way of dressier clothing. Schools have long breaks over Christmas &amp; New Year here so it's our main holiday time. A light raincoat is always useful too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-pack-for-2-month-trip-to-australia-december-january#post-754644 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 21:12:14 +0000 Deborah 754644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Elle am rushing but will come back re your question later. Where in Vic will you be? I'm in Bendigo. Would be lovely to meet up while you are here x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-pack-for-2-month-trip-to-australia-december-january#post-754627 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 20:55:50 +0000 ElleH 754627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will be in Melbourne, rural Victoria &amp; Brisbane &amp; if I'm lucky Byron Bay. </p>
