Hi Mr P,
Well Victoria has all the seasons, it can get hot in the summer (40 degs) but lasts for a few days. We then get a bit of respite with a temperature drop and then it gets hot again. Melbourne weather has been likened to Scottish weather, you can get all 4 seasons in one day!! Can be quite unpredictable. We do have beaches but not to the scale of the Sunshine Coast and around that area.
The hottest places are around the Darwin area (never dips really below 30 degs even in winter), northern QLD around Cairns and down to Townsville (tropical) - can get very hot for a longer period of time than Victoria. Very humid in the summer. Nights can be very uncomfortably hot.
Perth is also hot, but not as humid as Cairns. Lots of beaches.
The southern part of NSW has generally milder weather.
There's loads of info on the net.
