Australia Online Travel Guide
Australia's biggest attraction is its natural beauty. The landscape varies from endless sunbaked horizons to dense tropical rainforest to chilly southern beaches. Scattered along the coasts, its cities blend a European enthusiasm for art and food with a laid-back love of sport and the outdoors.
Visitors expecting to see an opera in Sydney one night and meet Crocodile Dundee the next will have to re-think their grasp of geography in this huge country. It is this sheer vastness that gives Australia - and its diverse population - much of its character.
When To Go
So when is the best time to visit Australia? The answer is "any time". Any time is a good time to visit Australia, between December to February can get uncomfortably hot just about anywhere, except Tasmania ofcourse. This is the summer period and up north it is the wet season, where it is very humid and is the box jellyfish is around.
From June to August things have cooled down a little and dried up a lot up north. This is a good time to visit Queensland or the outback. Many people from the southern part of Australia travel up north at this time in search for the warmer condition. If you are here for the skiing, now is the time to head for the snowfields of Victoria and NSW. Mt Thredbo is a popular place to go for skiing, it has a wide range of snowy terrain to suit all standards. For beginners learning is easy on the gentle slope of Friday Flat, with a slow speed quad chair and Snow Runner conveyer, making those trips to the top a breeze.
At a glance Australia's biggest attraction is its natural beauty. The landscape varies from endless sunbaked horizons to dense tropical rainforest to chilly southern beaches. Scattered along the coasts, its cities blend a European enthusiasm for art and food with a laid-back love of sport and the outdoors.
Overall, spring and autumn are probably the safest time to visit Australia, the weather is reasonably mild wherever you are, and spring brings out the wildflowers in the outback, while autumn is particularly beautiful in Canberra and in the Victorian Alps. If you want to avoid holiday road chaos, do not arrive in Australia at Easter.
