Gday Steve..

Depending upon how rambunctious my daughter is we may come down and say gday, also please note the weather for today, you may want to try for earlier rather than later.

I have found a new report that is a bit easier to read for non pilots as the TAF is largely "decoded". Let me know if this is a preferred format.
