Your comments about our (mild) winter temps are quite funny. I've lived in Qld for a couple of years, NSW for 30 years, PNG for over a year, SA and California for around 6 mths and now Vic for 25 years and guess what, the best climate of all for me is Vic.

The big thing I like about Vic is the huge variation in climate throughout the year, there are at least 6 distinct seasons throughout the year and it is this variation that I like (and most Vic people like). We go from 40+C in summer to 0C in winter, its almost like being in 6 different countries - its the variation that's great and if you ride all year round it makes for good riding skills. Personally I prefer winter and dislike summer.

And surprise, surprise it hardly rains in Vic and when it does rain it is mostly drizzle. In fact Vic rainfall in non drought years is HALF the rainfall of NSW, unfortunately we've been in drought for about 7 years.

Ahem, don't know if you have noticed Michael but Albury is in NSW , I think you mean Wodonga is Vic's most northern city

Actually Albury / Wodonga is pretty high on my list of favourite places in Oz, especially the country to the east, pure motorcycle heaven for hundreds of kms and the scenery ain't bad either. I stop over in Wodonga on average 4 - 6 times a year on my "3 day blasts through the hills" trips.

Gee the weir is low especially up around Tallangatta, I don't think the rest of Australia realise just how bad things are with the Murray.
