When to Go? Any time is a good time to be in Australia. Summer (December to February) can get uncomfortably hot just about anywhere in Australia ( you definitely don’t want to come here for a winter ski vacation!). This time of year is great beach weather and great melanoma weather. Up north this is wet season, its very humid, it is also beautifully green and free of tourists. From June until August things cool down and dry up. This is a good time to visit Queensland or the outback. This time is the best for skiing in NSW and Victoria. Over all spring and autumn are the safest bets if you want good weather and beautiful scenery. If you want to avoid holiday road chaos. Don’t arrive in Australia at Easter or just before Christmas.
$Money$ & Costs If your coming from Europe or USA, Australia is going to look pretty cheap. Everything is pretty much reasonably priced. Travel will be your biggest expenses because of the long distances.
