Year-Round Trips to Australia

Australia’s varied environments, ranging from desert to tropical, make for a diverse climate perfect for year-round travel. In Australia, there is always somewhere with great weather! The seasons in Australia are opposite those in North America and Europe, so it’s a popular wintertime escape. But weather varies greatly depending on latitude, just like in the U.S., so know before you go to this large continent what weather to expect in your region of travel. The climate data listed above is for Sydney, Australia, but keep reading for the Kimberley coast, Tasmania and the Great Barrier Reef.
