What is the best time of the year to travel in Australia?
Australia is such a vast continent, that temperatures can vary considerably between, say Darwin in the north and Hobart in the south. There is a great advantage for potential tourist wanting to holiday in Australia, that is you can visit Australia, anytime, and find a location or tourist routes that have a climate conditions that appeal to you. For instance, touring Tasmania is very popular in summer and Cairns is ideal in winter. Then again, you might like to go skiing, in winter, in our uniquely beautiful Australian high country and snowfields. Or you can visit south-east Queensland and northern New South Wales from Byron Bay up to Noosa, and the weather is mostly beautiful all year around.
