Climate
Australia's pleasant climate makes it a fabulous destination all year round.
Even in winter you will enjoy blue skies and warm, bright days.
There are two climatic zones in Australia. Approximately 40% of Australia is in the Tropical Zone - this is north above the Tropic of Capricorn. The cities of Cairns, Townsville and Darwin lie in this zone.
The remaining areas of Australia lie in the Temperate Zone, including Brisbane, Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne, Hobart, Adelaide and Perth.
Please note that Australia's seasons are the opposite of the northern hemisphere:
Spring - September to November
Summer - December to February
Fall / Autumn - March to May
Winter - June to August
