After the new freeway was built the tree was further away and could no longer be seen. When the kids were little we would pass it on the way to Queensland for holidays. The kids were excited to see what colour it would be for that year. I've unsuccessfully tried to find it a couple of times since but haven't given up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSWP Posted June 20, 2021 #3564 Share Posted June 20, 2021 How weak and insensitive are the Queensland Govt not allowing the south african couple from USA the opportunity of visiting the father/father in law, dying in Brisbane. They got approval to fly into NSW now that tyrant of a Qld Premier is barring them, even in a private plane and full PP gear. outreagous. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Late February/early March is the best time to tour the South Island although being NZ you always have to be prepared for the odd cool and rainy day.

We had planned to do the TranzAlpine & Coast Pacific on our trip in Jan 2019. However the Coast Pacific was still closed at that time. With some input from Julie (OzKiwiJJ) & others we made it a driving trip - Christchurch, Mt Cook, Queenstown (3N), Franz Josef, Westport & Picton, then the ferry to Wellington & then Ruapehu (2N), Waitomo & Auckland before cruising back to Sydney. We thought we may go back again to do similar as what you have booked, but who's to know what the future will bring. I'm sure you will enjoy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackduck59 Posted June 26, 2021 Author #3568 Share Posted June 26, 2021 We're having a heat wave...a tropical heat wave... We have be flirting with 30 degrees for the last week and the forecast is for upwards of 37 on Sunday (which would be an all time high on record) and Summer just started 🤔. I know we are wussies but it's not supposed to be this way in our island paradise, you know not too hot not too cold with our giant ocean energy store. We have all the windows covered, lights out, fans blowing. No I didn't think we would need A/C here (I was wrong), next house will definitely have a heat pump with A/C.

Like I said, here in my part of the Great White North we expect "moderate" weather. We expect maybe 30 degrees for a couple hours for a day or 2 at the height of summer and maybe -6 at the depth of winter. Hovering around 30 for more than a week and expected spikes to 37? No thanks.

See California had a heatwave in the mid to high 30s . I had to smile. Where @mr walkerlives in Penrith,which isn’t far from me . They had 48.9C awhile ago and in reality you can add a couple of degrees to that. I think it was the hottest in Australia at the time. Now 50C is getting beyond a joke. Air conditioning doesn’t work above 55C. But enjoy the warm weather you are getting,better than the bloody cold you get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
