Australia is a vast country so temperatures vary region by region and seasons are typically the opposite to those in the northern hemisphere.

When it’s cold in Melbourne, Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef are enjoying tropical weather.

 

If you’re seeking beach weather, then book your flight to Sydney for the summer (December to February) with average highs of 26°C.

The figures shown are for Sydney. If flying elsewhere into Australia, check the local weather before you fly.

Reasons to visit Australia

sydney opera house and circular quay ferry terminus from the harbour bridge

Sydney by foot and ferry

Experience the harbour in all its splendour by walking over the bridge, down through Circular Quay and on to the Opera House. Stroll through the Botanical Gardens and up to Mrs Macquarie’s Chair, the bench carved from sandstone over 200 years ago. Outside of the city, you can walk along Bondi Beach to Coogee, stopping for a dip in the ocean along the way.

However, if you’d rather rest your legs, the famous Manly Ferry is for you – passing Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House on your way to the beachy suburb of Manly.

Meet Phillip Island’s Little Penguins

Just an hour or so south of Melbourne is Phillip Island, home to some famous feathered individuals. At sunset each day, one of the largest penguin colonies in Australia, the Little Penguins of Phillip Island, return home.

Head to the observation deck for the best views of the birds as they emerge from the waves or opt for an eye-level view at the underground platform, as the penguins waddle home after a long day’s fishing.

north stradbroke island queensland australia

The magic of Straddie

Just 40 minutes east of the centre of Brisbane, catch the ferry across Moreton Bay towards North Stradbroke Island. Known affectionately to locals as ‘Straddie’, this island is a hub for wildlife. On the coastal North Gorge Walk, scan the waters for surfing dolphins or diving manta rays.

On land, kangaroos bound around, while koalas relax up high among the branches of the island’s eucalyptus trees. Head there between June and November for the best chance to witness migrating whales, with many species passing the shoreline as they head in search of food.

Things to know before you fly to Australia

meals Local food

Thanks to the way that outdoor living is embraced in Australia, barbecued food is a must when in the country – choose prawns by the sea, or lamb further inland. Try pavlova too – a delicious combination of crunchy meringue, fresh fruit and cream.

currency Local currency

The national currency is the Australian Dollar (AUD). You can exchange your spending money into AUD before you start your journey to Australia, or banks, international airports and some hotels offer currency exchange once you’re in the country.

globe Language

English is the official language of Australia. But people from across the world have chosen Australia as their home, so expect to hear a diverse range of languages in this multicultural country. Interestingly, Mandarin is the second most common language spoken.

socket Plugs

Power plugs and sockets are type I which are commonly used in Australia, New Zealand, China, the South Pacific and Argentina. If you’re not travelling from one of these countries, you will need to invest in a universal adaptor for your electronics.

Flying to Australia: FAQs

Where should I fly to in Australia?

Where you should fly to depends on which part of the country you want to explore. Melbourne (MEL) is a great starting point for a coastal road trip, Sydney (SYD) is perfect for a city-based break, while Brisbane (BNE) is the gateway to both the Gold and Sunshine Coasts.

How long can I stay in Australia?

You will need a visa before you start your Australian adventure, unless you’re an Australian or New Zealand citizen. There are different visas available depending on where you’re travelling from and your reason for travel. For up to date information and guidance on which visa is right for you, head to the Australian government’s official site.

How many days do you need to visit Australia?

Most visitors to Australia set aside at least two weeks to explore properly. You could spend months discovering new things in this wonderful country and still have more to see. However, with two weeks to play with, you can pick two or three must-sees and experience them thoroughly.
