Pardon? No humidity in summer?

I have stood on tennis courts at Melbourne Park (another advantage of Melbourne, home of THE best Grand Slam tennis tournament) in over 40 degree heat with humidity over 80% - it was bad enough to suspend play for the women and the juniors - and this is not an isolated occurrence.

I agree though that Melbourne is fine, but not as good as Sydney.

Transport is also very good down there, with cheap multi-modal tickets easily available.
