But I hear what you say. You need to seal it in a plastic bag with plenty of dessicant, I would suggest.

ps. Melbourne is not too much problem re humidity combined with heat. Keep it inside your heated house through the colder/wetter months.
dad and i bought a 14" meade ACF and had it in the box for 9 months before first light.. only to find that it was waaay out of collimation :/
