Best time to visit Australia:

  1. Summer (December to February): The southern regions, like Melbourne and Sydney, experience warm to hot weather during these months. It's a great time for beach activities and outdoor adventures. However, popular tourist destinations might be more crowded.

  2. Autumn (March to May): Autumn brings milder temperatures, making it a pleasant time to visit most parts of Australia. This season is great for exploring national parks and taking road trips.

  3. Winter (June to August): In the northern regions, such as Queensland and the Northern Territory, it's the dry season, making it an excellent time for exploring the Great Barrier Reef or the Outback. In the southern regions, it's cooler, but it's a good time for skiing in the alpine regions.

  4. Spring (September to November): This season brings blooming flowers and mild temperatures. It's an ideal time for outdoor activities and witnessing natural beauty, especially in places like Western Australia or Tasmania.
