I live in Burrum Heads, a coastal resort in Queensland. We do not have the temperature variations we used to when living down near Ipswich. In winter it is wonderful with barely a frost and in summer, even in a heat wave the best it gets is 33C. There is humidity which others go on about but since I am very fair skinned I don't go out in the sun much. Getting to my point, the town is full in the caravan parks during winter as everyone from Victoria comes up here for 3 months to escape winter. Its really strange as on an unofficially appointed week, all the caravans disappear in the spring and go home and the place is deserted until school holidays kick in. Perhaps you need to find someone where you can house swap for a few months of the year? House sitters are in high demand.
