I'm kind of hoping the heat wave will break first. Either way though I'll be flying in on the evening of Wednesday 29th and flying out on the evening of Friday 7th February.
This is a work trip so most of my time will be taken up with two site visits to libraries followed by four conferences on four different subjects. But the weekend (1st/2nd) should be my own and I probably won't be spending *every* evening at vendor cocktail parties. (Actually I usually avoid vendor things unless they include food more substantial than hors d'oeuvres because by that time of day I'm starving and my feet hurt. But there are some where attendance will be politically preferable.)
So does anyone I know live in Melbourne and want to catch up? Or does anyone have any recommendations for Must Visit places?
(Also does Melbourne have mosquitoes? I've heard it doesn't but what I really need to know is does it have mosquitoes this summer. Because traditionally Christchurch doesn't have mosquitoes either, And Yet.)

Am at zeborah at the gmail.Hmm, mosquitoes really love me, and then I get allergic reactions - of the nuisance kind (big unsightly itchy/painful swelling) rather than the life-threatening kind but still. But if there aren't too many then standard precautions should be sufficient...
