Hi Folks
We are planning our trip from
Brisbane to
Port Douglas, Fraser Island and points in between.
We will be camping with swags, so what sort of weather should we expect?
Thanks
Ray

Come on Roscoe, it is "great one day, perfect the next" weather up here.
Just don't mind a little liquid sunshine in summer.
Might be a little wind with it too if there is a cyclone.
More chances of both as you head further north in summer.
Now me, I like travelling north of Rocky after April.

One thing to remember is that what is cold to us up here in Queensland may be slightly different to what is expected is coming from the southern states.
We've already got the doona on the bed. An overnight temperature of 18 is pretty cool up here but if you're from Victoria is what seem pretty warm. Have a look at the BOM site (www.bom.gov.au) and you will be able to find the weather patterns of most of the measuring stations over a fair period of time (some provide weather stats for the last 100 years). The way the rain has been going up here will make it hard to judge.
Brisbane has had reasonable rain (not in the dams unfortunately) but further north through the Sunshine coast there has been some good falls. That time of year is normally pretty dry where you're heading. I'd plan for cool to warm days and cool nights. I've always found camping in the swag that it's easy to adjust to the temperature, zip it up if it's cold and open it up if it's hot.
Good luck with it.
