Best time to visit Australia
It depends on the area where you visit.
Southeast Coast (Sydney, Melbourne, Gold Coast): October to April of the following year is the best time to travel along the southeast coast of Australia. Because it is located in the southern hemisphere, October to April is the summer half of the year in Australia. At this time, whether it is Sydney, Melbourne, Sunshine Coast or Brisbane, there is the most abundant sunshine. In addition, it is also the time to escape the cold winter in the northern hemisphere.
North (Cairns, Darwin): May to October is the best time to travel in northern Australia. Because the northern part of Australia is very close to the equator, it is a tropical climate zone. May to October is the dry season. There is not much rain and the weather is not too hot. It is very suitable for outdoor activities such as hiking or snorkeling.
South and West (Adelaide, Perth): September to December and March to May are the best time to travel in southern and western Australia. The southern and western parts of Australia have a Mediterranean climate, with warm and humid winters and hot and dry summers. The best time to travel is in spring and autumn, which can avoid high temperatures.
