Weather in melbourne during end feb

by F&EinTaipei

Hihi,

I understand that the weather in mel can be rather erratic - having 4 seasons in 1 day.. just to check if the weather in feb will also be so? or hot?

Thanks

Feb is normally not only the hottest month, with temps up to 40c, but also normally very dry. The good thing about Melbourne is that while it can get very hot it only lasts for a couple of days and then a cool change swings by and the temp drops quickly. Its always best to bring a sweater to Melbourne just in case because evenings can be cool

The answer to both questions is "Yes" It will be hot, but it can change quickly.

Above info from other posters is spot on - of all the months Feb is probably the most reliable in that it is hot and hot. We are desparate for some rain here, so if you can pack a few clouds into your suitcase we'll all appreciate it. Plan a few indoor activities in case it does rain, but also if it is just too hot.

Travel Tips for Melbourne

Superbikes

by l_joo

Superbikes are extremely common in Melbourne, I saw some big showrooms at a street downtown, a brand new bike 600cc or 800cc (Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki, etc) priced at only A$10,000 to A$18,000, a person earn average, A$2000-A$3000 monthly, so why not buy a superbike. (For Malaysian) Comparing to Malaysia, average monthly earn RM2000-3000 but a superbike cost RM60,000-RM100,000, import tax plus AP, etc, superbikes are not common in Malaysia, only occassionally saw one or two.

this pic of the gallery tower at the melbourne art centre shows the large spiral on top which changes color at night to a light blue (see pic on krystynn page).I haven't been iside this building for years .so ask a melbournian with more culture than me what it's like.The art centre is only 3 mins walk from Flinders Street station and is right next to south bank complex.
Which in my opion is one of the nicest places to go in the city area .
south bank has so great restaurants and also probably the best irish bar in melbourne in terms of decore .
its called P.J O'briens and I have given some of my hard earned across the bar to them on lets just say more than one time.

November - Melbourne Cup

by keeweechic

November is Melbourne Cup. Every year the city and pretty much the country, comes to a halt for 3 mins while the Melbourne cup race is held.

March/April - the Melbourne International Comedy Festival is held at one of Melbourne?s comedy clubs.

March - The Australian Formula One Grand Prix is held around Albert Park. It is also the start of the Australian Rules Football Season, Melbourne Food and Wine Festival.

Also soccer is played in Down Under

by Jarra

Although Aussie rules and cricket are far more popular sports in Australia also European football is fighting for its positions in the sport crazy Australia. In top European series there are many Australian breed players. I`ve seen two matches in Australia and it is very easy to notice the roots of a home team. For example South Melbourne FCs roots are in Greek community. You hear more Greek than English in stands. All the same - I really enjoyed the match. So if you are a football fan take the opportunity to see "real" football also here in Australia.

Hanging Rock Cafe

by aussirose

Get's real cold in May in Melbourne. When we arrived at Hanging Rock you could play smokes with the air, it was so thick. (That's for those that don't smoke haha). A few of us got a bit cold (wasn't drinkin' like Tina-Perth haha). So we hit the cafe for a nice coffee and to warm up.
