July to November is a perfect time to visit Queensland.

Two things -- the "westerlies" come through Brisbane in August so it can be a bit blowy.

Secondly, our political masters have decreed that Brisbane would be a lovely place to host the G20 conference. That happens on November 15 and 16, so with 4000 delegates and security staff and another 7000 reporters and assorted hangers-on, it will be a nightmare. Large parts of the city will be in lockdown to try to thwart the inevitable idiot protesters/ vandals, and authorities have warned of month-long disruptions to our otherwise laid back lifestyle.

Sounds like a good month to be out diving on the Barrier Reef!
