Australia's weather and seasons are the opposite of the northern hemisphere - summer officially starts
in December and winter in June. But even in winter you'll enjoy blue skies and warm, bright days.
Australia's climate and the fact that it is the driest continent on earth makes it a
fabulous holiday destination all year round, whatever you're planning to do. In the
Australian winter you can ski in the southern states one day and be diving in the
balmy waters of the Great Barrier Reef in Queensland the next. Such temperate conditions
make al fresco dining, sublime days on the beach or the water, outdoor bbqs, and
a huge variety of sports a way of life here.
Here are the average temps for Australia to help you plan your trip a little better...
