The country experiences its summer season in the period between December and February. It enjoys winter between June and August (exactly opposite to the countries in the northern hemisphere). Now, though Australia tourism keeps its doors opened for tourists throughout the year, there are certain seasons which enjoy greater footfalls.

The geography is a big factor and your personal itinerary will play a deciding role while choosing an apt holiday season. The summer months (December-February) are preferable for exploring the southern part of the continent. The beaches become their exotic self under the sun & the sky; the pellucid waters present delectable opportunities to surfers & swimmers; and the salubrious weather is tailored for outdoor activities like shopping, hiking or camping! Therefore, if you are planning to visit cities like Sydney, Tasmania, Canberra or Melbourne (popular cities in southern Australia), then you should plan an Australia visa for the summer months (December-February).

On the other hand, if you have your eye set on the northern part of the continent, then the winter season (June-August) is much more suitable. Compared to the rest of the year, during this season, the northern & central Australia is cooler & more comfortable. It is also an opportune time to try winter sports like skiing! Snow, wildlife and orchards conjure up a feast for the eye! Also, this is not a busy period for Australia tourism (which receives maximum visitors during the summer days) and so you can evade high traffic, hassles of crowd and the pain of exorbitant prices.
