Bugger the tent at this time of year. Pick a spell of good weather and just sleep out. We used to do it often in a nice wee camping spot near the waterfall on Nimrod, right in amongst the animals and great for the kids on clear night as you can lie back and watch hundreds of thousands of stars, magical! My son who is now 52 still talks about his first trip there as an 8 year old.
