 Noel, Seeing that summer ends end of February, early March weather in Se Qld is still quite warm to hot days but comfortable to cool nights. We have camped at Easter which is anywhere from late March to mid April and it can get quite cold at night, tee shirt weather for you but seeing the rally is earlier than that plus we'll be indoors by then it shouldn't matter too much. Esk is nestled amongst the mountains so the weather could be anywhere from hot cold or wet. Hope I made your decision on what to pack easier. :scratch_one-s_head:

Pack?? ....I'm worried about riding!

Thanks  for the overview of the weather Tony. There's no way I can ride 800-900km days if the temp is going to low 30's+ and high humidity. I get exhausted watching TV when it's humid.
I don't ride much over Summer but thought I would sneak in a quick 300 km ride Sunday am, intending to be back home before lunch and before it got hot. Well, I succeeded with the 300 km before lunch, problem was I hadn't turned around yet! Rode home in the heat and I was perishing, it reminded me how much I hate riding when it's hot and how little tolerance I have for it. I have mesh jacket and pants but for the last hour or so, removed my jacket and rode with my visor up, the bugs bouncing off my face, or at least the ones that didn't get wedged between my head and the side of my helmet.

Thanks Ray, what about humidity that time of the year?

Nevermind, I think I just got my answer.....

Meanwhile, on the other side of the planet. 40 deg Celsius. Humidity 99% and the FJ slowly sank into the car park.

humidity shouldn't be to bad out west of Brisbane that time of year. Even the day time temps should be good.
