    Adelaide? Do some research Bam Fam. We have friends down there and it usually gets into the 40’s down there in summer. On the other side of the fence my daughter lives in Tassie. Yeah yeah you might get 4 seasons in an hour but the heat is nowhere as intense. She lives in Launceston and has for well over a decade. No plans of ever coming home to Queensland. If I could, I’d live there too but Queensland is just too good to leave.

    Australia is a vast country with a land mass similar to that of the USA.
    The climate obviously varies with Darwin close to the equator so a tropical climate with a wet and dry season. South East Qld is subtropical with a hot and humid summer and pleasant and usually drier winters. I lived in Brisbane for 4 years during University, grew up in northern NSW and also lived in Adelaide for more than 17 years. Adelaide is indeed hot, heatwaves nudging 40 degrees for days on end with overnight temps of 30....Not the most pleasant but autumn and spring in Adelaide in just about perfect.
    I'm in Tasmania now (Launceston), so at a latitude of 42 degrees, climate where I am is temperate and we have 4 distinct seasons, with snow inland in winter, seldom snow in "Launnie", temps here, summer maxima of around 20-30, today was 26 and overnight, around 15 deg C. The highlands here resemble those of Scotland (or so I have been told). Winter tends to be from 0-10 to 12. Some days can be miserable in winter...
    We have daylight saving here too (not in Qld though) so peak summer you will have some light at around 9.30pm and sunrise 5.30am. In winter, the days are short.
    The Australian Alps receive more snow than the Swiss Alps apparently. The beaches all over Australia are simply stunning, you'll find a great one wherever you are.
    So, not every place in OZ is scorchingly hot 24/7 365 days a year, it's a big country. And yes, you seldom see snakes or spiders. If you do see them, just leave them alone, the paranoia surrounding this is laughable.

    “Spend the summer in Adelaide” caused a reflex guffaw to burst from my lips.
    Sure, it doesn’t have Brisbane’s humidity, but just because it’s south, doesn’t mean it’s cool. When the unimpeded sun is boring through your skull and melting the roads, I think you might find yourself longing for a soft, protective blanket of moisture in the air.

I am from Queensland, but I think, to get away from the heat and humidity in Queensland, Tasmania is a pretty good choice.

    You have to add Tasmania to the list. While prices have been going up it's still relatively affordable and you get a very different climate to Queensland. If I wasn't going home to Airlie, the only two other options would be Apollo Bay in Victoria or Bicheno in Tasmania. Tasmania is also very easy to drive around - it's very hard to go anywhere more than 500 km away, unlike Queensland.

    Adelaide to escape the heat definitely NOT!! lovely place but I've been there many times during January & it's HOT as hell! A real dry heat that sweeps in front the dessert. In fact I think it's much hotter in Adelaide then The Sunny Coast just not humid but the heat will kill you guys.
    For areas to look at without the humidity and still hot and still may have 40'c days but not an everyday thing I would suggest probably anywhere along the East Coast from Vic to Byron Bay. I live in Cairns and man the humidity here is an absolute killer during the spring & Summer. We used to live in a place called The Central Coast which is just North of Sydney by the ocean and it's an amazing place! We will be moving back there this year and I can't wait! Lots of Brits there! I have soooo many Pommy friends there and my GP & most of the GP's at that practice are all English too! So many places in Australia to consider but Adelaide is way too hot & the water very cold from Antarctica.

    Victoria has high temperatures in summer can be up to 40c for a few days but cool in Winter. Unlike Queensland we have warm to hot summers and we get a cool winter...nothing as cold as UK. We have snow in the high country with ski fields in winter. Snakes are only a problem if you go looking for them, they leave you alone. In northern Victoria it is hot all summer and because they are north of the great dividing range, they don't get a cool change in the summer like coastal Victoria and Melbourne. I like Victorian weather most of the time except if we get days in the 40s, then I worry about bushfire. I have been here for Ash Wednesday and Black Saturday, not a pleasant experience for a city Pome 🙃 but we survived.

    I'm an Adelaidean so I can tell you the weather is a dry heat down here. It's so different to the heat you have in Queensland. You don't sweat but you breathe in hot air. I'm not an outdoorsy person so I spend a lot of time hibernating inside with the blinds and curtains closed and close to one of my air conditioners. You really need more than one available.

  • @SP-free
    @SP-free Před rokem +2

    Btw, here’s some hidden info for you. If you want to get away from the heat. On days we’re it gets to 30 degrees for a few days or 40 degrees, in Melbourne, that heat is soon broken by a cool change coming off the bay and cooling down Melbourne & Victoria’s southern parts. Melbourne does get Adelaide’s weather a day or two later but not as extreme and Melbourne doesn’t get the tropical storms, destruction and rainfall that Queensland and Sydney gets. So if you looking at an antidote to that never ending heat and humidity of Queensland, good luck in Adelaide…but your looking at the wrong State. Adelaide’s water is rubbish, they have heat, they have less population which means stuff gets done quicker in other powerhouse States who have greater amenities and Adelaide is classed as a sleepy State for a reason . And as you two get older, heat and humidity isn’t the friend of ageing couples. Your block of land should be in Victoria. Not Adelaide.

    There’s a lot of misleading info here. Yes Adelaide does get very hot but that’s for 10 to 14 days a year not all summer! In 21/22 there were no heatwaves (days over 40C.). 80% of summer Max’s are 27C to 34C and 15C to 22C mins. That means a few hours of air con in the afternoon and really mild pleasant nights to sleep without discomfort or air con. Yes Adelaide gets cold in winter but from November to April it’s really fine. Sunny most of the time and no humidity. It’s been 26C plus lately with mild nights.
    Yes it’s a relatively quiet place but all of the main events are from February to April when its definitely not! The Festival of Arts, the best Fringe festival, the only World music festival in the country(Womad), Motorsport, AFL gather round for the next 3 years (a major success). Then you have no traffic issues,affordable housing (compared to the major cities), beautiful botanical gardens with world class displays.and a lot more.

    Thanks for sharing that eatery Maz! I will def check it out when up Noosa Cooroy way! My choice of a cooler option in summer would be along the NSW north/mid
    coast down around Nambucca Heads . The temp today is 26 against our 32 deg here in Brisbane .. lower humidity and sea breezes sounds a dream in summer.. Yes Adelaide can be scorching in summer I have been told by former occupants though I have only been there in winter when it was v-e-r-y windy and cold We are spoilt here in Queensland with longer daylight hours especially in winter .. it gets dark earlier if you go much further south ..

    I know it gets a little hot and sticky in Brisbane, but you need to look back to when you were living in England before you moved to Australia What did you do when it was very cold and wet, I bet you were locked up indoors with the heater on for many days of the year.
    So, on some of the really hot and humid days, spend them in the pool or indoors with the aircon on, which I'm sure you do, a lot better than freezing your ass off.
    Adelaide is a very nice location, but boy it gets very cold in winter, stick with Queensland, but a piece of advice, do not move to my little out of the way town called Exmouth. Just about every summers day it's over 40c up to 48c and with fairly high humidity, not sure how I cope. After 28 years it's getting a little hard, maybe time to move to a cooler place like Queensland.

Spring and autumn perfect, laid back lifestyle very friendly and being a huge State many different and varied areas to explore, you definitely need to visit but be aware of huge distances need time to explore

    Glad "Pom" doesn't offend you. The Wokes tried to tell us we were terrible if ever the rare occasion using it. It's only fluffy wool sits on top of a hat after all. Where's the offense in that?

    Real News Update: 12 hours ago. 'A man aged in his sixties has died after a suspected snake bite east of Brisbane, Queensland'
    Morale of the story. If you'd love to live in the hotter parts of Australia, there is a trade off...snakes, bugs, jellyfish, sharks etc. But that's just the law of mother nature everywhere. These creatures love warmer climates all around the world. You won't get them in the cold or snowfields around the world.
    But having said that, because of the warmer weather in Queensland all year round, you'll never be eaten by a Grizzly Bear or Polar Bear. 🤣

      'east of Brisbane, Queensland' ...He lived out in the sticks, west of Brisbane. Poor bloke.
      Btw Given it gets warm in summer around most of Australia there are few places to hide. Worst flies I've ever experienced in Australia were around the ski resort mountains near Melbourne.

      @@newbris I’ve only been to ski resorts in Vic during winter. No flies.
      And you can always watch those travel shows where someone is in a forest in America, Russia or Scandinavia which normally has a tonne of snow and freezing conditions during winter, but during summer in these forests you can get eaten alive by the bugs! Amazing the contrast really.
