Is air-conditioning necessary during March in Australia?
 
We will be on the Gold Coast i.e. the Coolangatta area from March 10 - 15, 2002. Some hotels do not have airconditioning, they only have ceiling fans. During that time of the year is it O.K. to choose a resort that does not have airconditioning? Please advise.

Marina, yes you need aircon

Why would you need aircon with temps at 25deg average and a sea breeze? The above writer is from NZ so I guess would not be aware of what the temps would be at that time of year - either that or he is from the frozen south of NZ where anything above freezing is hot!

Marina,<BR>I am posting from New Zealand as we are currently living here on a work assignment. We moved to Auckland from Brisbane a year ago. LizF's point is well made(as are most!!) that it is sea level and you are likely to get a sea breeze. However, having lived in Brisbane it is likely that you may (but you may not I guess) experience humidity levels that you are not used to. This can translate to difficulty in sleeping at night.<BR><BR>My recommendation would be to go for aircon unless you are used to warm humid weather.<BR><BR>LizF....don't be cheeky!!!<BR><BR>Cheers<BR>David
