Thanks for the feedback chaps, all much appreciated! A very good (Aussie) friend of mine over here is partly responsible for encouraging us to seize the opportunity that was presented. Just don't talk to me about cricket...what's with all wearing white seriously, never really understood that game, maybe you guys can educate me...

Anyhow, relative humidity, as quoted by the Met office is frequently around 90% here, and both a dew shield and a heater strip on full blast are drafted in to fight for a session, but usually lose after a couple of hours. This country lives up to its reputation for rain and, worse, cloud....or at least has the past couple of years. As a result, if I get one or two sessions in a month I consider it lucky. My last session was January 4th, hoping for one tonight, if the forecast holds up (usually doesn't!)

With respect to the weather, was mostly wondering if the humidity was worse than here (not sure that's even possible!) to determine if I should sell my scopes here and reinvest in something suitable once settled

Sounds like I need to start looking midway along the north suburbs then and see what I find. Would Aussies think it an odd thing to make a viewing of a property after dark?
