This is one of the most common questions, and for good reason. You may think Australia is <\/span>sunshine \u2600\ufe0f all year round <\/b>– and it mostly is. BUT Australia is massive, so the weather in one part of the country can be very different to another. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t

First things first, what seasons does Australia have?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In the south (think <\/span>Melbourne<\/b>, <\/span>Sydney<\/b>, and up to <\/span>Byron Bay<\/b>) you\u2019ll find more familiar seasons. Expect <\/span>hot, sunny summers<\/b> perfect for beach days, and cooler, mild winters (with no snow in sight!).<\/span><\/p>

But in the north, in the city of <\/span>Cairns<\/b> and as far south as the town of <\/span>Airlie Beach<\/b> you have a <\/span>tropical climate \ud83c\udf34<\/b> with a wet and dry season. This means <\/span>humid warm weather<\/b> all year round, and the chance of some strong tropical showers from November to April. But don\u2019t worry if you have rain forecast, it normally moves on quickly and those blue skies return.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Hang on! When\u2019s summer again?<\/b><\/p>

Australia\u2019s seasons are the opposite to the northern hemisphere so summer is from December to February and winter is June to August. But there\u2019s no wrong time to travel, as we share below \u2b07\ufe0f<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

It\u2019s popular for a reason and it\u2019s hot \u2600\ufe0f aka why you came to Australia in the first place. Temperatures can regularly be over 30 degrees celsius (85+ Fahrenheit for our American friends) which makes beach days, sea swims and hostel pools the dream.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The cities of Melbourne and Sydney are ideal at this time, long summer evenings, morning sea swims and plenty of rooftop bars to enjoy. Then as you head further north, it gets hotter and more humid as you go – you\u2019ll be <\/span>chasing waterfalls<\/b> in rainforests or<\/span> jumping off a sailboat<\/b> \u26f5 in the Whitsundays to cool down. Oh and the ice coffees are excellent too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Top tip:<\/b> Summer is the most popular time to travel so booking in advance is a must! You can secure your spot on our 30 Day East Coast tour<\/a> with a $400 deposit – easy as \ud83e\udd19 Want to go solo? We hear you!

Travelling in winter (June - August)<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t

This is the <\/span>quieter time to travel<\/b>, with less crowds but still <\/span>blue skies<\/b> and sunny weather – we told you <\/span>there\u2019s no bad time to travel!<\/b> It\u2019ll be warmer in the tropics of the north, so you may decide to start in Cairns and travel south down the East Coast arriving in Sydney and Melbourne as spring and summer begin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The biggest bonus of travelling in winter is the <\/span>dry season<\/b>. You can expect cloudless skies practically every day, making your camera reel the envy of your friends back home. And while it\u2019s not as busy as summer, it\u2019s worth keeping in mind it is the <\/span>low season<\/b>. Which means some tours don\u2019t run as regularly. No fear, we\u2019ll make sure you get to do everything on your bucket list without having to wait a week for the next Whitsundays boat.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Top tip:<\/b> Bringing along a pair of jeans and hoodie is a good idea for the cooler evenings across winter (and during the days in the southern cities) but the Australian sunshine is strong \ud83d\udd25 so it won\u2019t feel too cold. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Known as the <\/span>shoulder seasons<\/b>, you can\u2019t go wrong here. You get the<\/span> best of both worlds<\/b>, warmer than winter but not quite as busy as summer time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Temperatures in the south will be in the low twenties celsius but in the tropics of the north you\u2019ll be comfortable in high twenties – dreamy. This is perhaps your best time to travel if you burn easy (Ireland, we\u2019re looking at you \ud83d\udc40).<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

There\u2019s no wrong time to travel the East Coast, it depends what your preferences are. Summer brings the hotter weather<\/strong> and a super social scene, winter offers lower crowds<\/strong>, cooler weather and quieter beaches. And spring and autumn offer a bit of both!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Instead of focusing on when everyone else chooses to travel, decide when works for you<\/strong>. Once you hit your saving goal, get those flights booked and start your adventure. You won\u2019t regret it. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
