1. You will love the weather

Many people will say ‘what love the cold weather’? But for the enthusiastic and adventure prone mindset you will never feel the cold. It is because most part of Australia is warm even during winters except in parts of Sydney where you can experience 10 degrees Celsius of temperatures. It’s even warmer in northern areas, where it mostly gets less humid and rains less.

You will find Australian beaches in winters full of surfers and swimmers specially at Manly Beach enjoying the winter waves. You will love the road trips in cold weather. You may have heard that Australia’s Outback center is a scenic yet steaming desert, which is why it’s best to see this beautiful part of the country during the winter months. You can rent a camper van and take a major league road trip from tropical Darwin to Uluru (Ayer’s Rock), the closest you can get to driving on the moon while still on Earth. You can also have a spectacular 150-mile trek along the idyllic coast of the Great Ocean Road.

2. Enjoying the Winter Festivals

You will love the greatest festival which is VIVID Sydney, the largest party of lights, music and ideas in the Southern Hemisphere. Taking place in late May and early June each year, VIVID features free nightly light shows and incredible art installations, LED-bejeweled boats cruising the harbor, live music, creative conferences, and the sails of the legendary Sydney Opera House illuminated with mesmerizing 3D projections. You will love many other amazing festivals like film and winter Festivals which are held in June and July. Aboriginal culture gets its due with the August Amhem Land’s Garma Festival. Ever-interesting Darwin hosts the ridiculous Beer Can Regatta in early July and with the town of Katoomba that celebrates Christmas in July, during Yule fest.

3. Amazing Winter Sports

Sports and sporting activities in winter really warms up in Australia. You will find people surfing, swimming, snorkelling the Great Barrier Reef. You will also love skiing the snow at peaks at top resorts like Mt. Buller and Mount Perisher. Also there is line up for Rugby and Australian Football where you will be see large men in short shorts punching oblong balls and each other as loud, excited fans scream at them. Find the famous Melbourne Cricket Ground, or a pub, for a match, and pick a team to scream for.

4. Enjoy Whale Watching

If in the Northern Hemisphere there are birds who migrate to avoid winter blues, Southern Hemisphere whales migrate north for the winter, passing very near many parts of Australia during their quest to breed. The whale watching time of year kicks off in May in New South Wales and Tasmania, and in June in Queensland and Victoria. You can book a tour to see them breach and splash. Avoid taking selfies with them as you might not know nets in the harbour or maybe sharks too.

5. Things not so costly in winter

As many tourist thinks winter is not the right time to visit or enjoy the world thing become not so costly in winters. What is termed as “off” season you may have better deals in the months of June-August, with less crowded beaches, roads, and whale watching adventures, discounts on tours and guide services. The only thing that remains the same is the enjoyment and fun to be there in winters, playing indoor games or outdoor games, partying with friends at pubs and bars and enjoying the multi cuisine and much more.
