When you think of winter, you tend to think of cold weather with lots of rain and early darkness. Well, that’s not quite what you get with winter in Australia.

It starts the last weekend of this month! Are you going?

Summer in North American and Europe is winter in Australia, which makes it off-season in the country, which can get chilly in June, July and August (but certainly not freezing, especially by North American standard).

Australia, on the other hand, has it quite easy in this season since few places actually reach below freezing, and other places, such […]
A visit to Australia in August will find you in the last month of winter, and the place to be if in the south is at the mountains while the weather is still ripe for the joys of outdoor sports.
