[Wrecka]

I appreciate your taking the time to explain this. I been confused about this after reading weather comments from all youse blokes.
Your weather sounds complicated.

South East Queensland ( Gold Coast and Brisbane ) has a weather pattern similar to that of Florida

Your weather sounds complicated.

See we have a thing called The Great Dividing Range that runs the length of the east coast from Cape York to Melbourne. It can be right on the coast in some places or up to 200 klm inland. Makes for good riding on the East Coast your never to far from a nice winding mountian road. The weather down the coast is usually different to the weather on top of the range. Then the western side is different again, gets very little rain and hotter in summer and colder in winter. Canberra is in about the worst spot in Australia for weather. Up near the high country where it gets cool and wet and on the western slopes where its hot and dry. A bit like Melbourne, hot, dry, windy, wet, cold and stifelingly still most days. Hope that helps, If you want good weather anywhere north off CoffsHarbour to about Gladstone and stay within 200 klm of the coast. The southerners will all come on here now saying I dont know what I'm talking about and that the weather is great down there but they have to say that. There the one's with heated seats and handlebars. Sorry boys but it had to be said.

Yeah TC and BigKel are on the same part of the country (Southern Western Australia)

 

[1olbull]

Yeah, Mate, that's what I was meaning that TC moved to the west side - I thought not far from @BigKel Perth. Have learned TC is in Albany, a little to the south of Mandurah.

***n Shorts
You might need to change this habit if you upgrade your headers......

After seeing those CES headers i'm going to agree unless you like the smell of burnt hair and skin, jeans all the way
