Climate
Late January is the middle of Summer in Queensland, so the climate will be very warm during the day and very very pleasant during the evening. On "the coast" at the time of the conference, the weather will be "beautiful one day, perfect the next". You can expect an average top day temperature of 28C, dropping to approximately 22 - 24 C at night (i.e., 20-28 C; 68-83 F). As they say on the coast, "Beautiful one day, perfect the next". The Saturday Banquet, for example, will be beside the ocean, by the waves, on a warm Summer's night...
