The flight booking company I used to book flights and hire cars for this trip (well worth using, by the way, they managed to save me £100s on what I had found myself on the internet) had booked all my flights with Quantas, which brought an added bonus.  Quantas have a baggage allowance of 30kg, which can be split between as many items as you like.  That meant that I could get my clubs and a small suitcase within the limit, so avoiding the need to pay extra for the clubs.

This meant I had to pack economically.  Inevitably, that means I got it horribly wrong.  I brought two pairs of chinos, neither of which will see the light of day in Sydney and two pairs of golf trousers (again, entirely surplus to requirements here).  Two pairs of golf shorts was good but only one pair of casual shorts was not.  Just two t-shirts was stupid and why I brought two shirts is completely beyond me.

It was, therefore, with surprising pleasure that I saw this evening that the weather in Tasmania at the end of this week will be much cooler than Sydney and that there is likely to be some rain.  I may actually get to wear some of the stuff I brought!
