WHEN TO GO? Australia is a vast continent and it spread over some climatic belts from Subequatorial latitudes to "Roaring" fourties. Everyone can find a place to suite his tastes on his holiday. Sunlovers feel comfortable everywhere around central part. Beachlovers can find amazing beaches in certain parts of country in any time of year. You even can arrange your ski vacation in Australian Alps in winter. The question: "When is the best time to go to Australia?" - is absolutely senseless. Because when it is a best time for one place it may be not good idea to go to another one. For example, it is rather cool to swim on Gold Coast in winter (June-September), but it is the best time to go to Northern Territories or Tropical North Queensland: water is warm, humidity is lowest, jelly-fish is gone and beaches are open. That is why many people going to Australia at this time prefer to by packages which include Sydney and Cairns. On the contrary beaches of Tropical North Queensland are closed in Australian summer due to presence of dangerouse jelly-fish, but Gold Coast is a most popular beach destination in the Southern Hemisphere at this time. Whenever you are going to travel to Australia - you always can choose a place which is best visited at this time. Seasons:Planning your trip, do not forget about seasons. Seasonalty also varies from place to place depending mostly on lattitude. Commonly seasons in Australia are opposite to the seasons of Northern Hemisphere. When it is autumn in Europe, the spring comes to Australia and brings dizzy smells. Trees are dressed in colourfull apparel. Greenary of young leaves, lilac-coloured wigs of jakarandas, flaming manes of bougenvilles, white-snowy acacias in cities and unlimited carpets of wild flowers in deserts and savannahs leave inneffaceable memories. Autumn also has advantages. The hot is going down, crops bring abundance of a fresh fruites, vegetables and berries. Climatic Zones: Planning your vacation you are to take in account three criteria most important for recreation - temperature, humidity and seasonality. So we could divide Australia for 6 recreational-climatic zones, which are not the same with traditional climatic zones: HOT HUMID YEAR ROUND (Northern coastal areas of Western Australia (Broome, Kimberly), Northern Territories (Darwin, Gove), Queensland (Cairns)) WARM HUMID YEAR ROUND (Central Eastern Coast including Brisbane) HOT DRY SUMMER AND WARM WINTER (Northern inner part including Tennant Creek, Mt Isa) HOT DRY SUMMER AND COOL WINTER (All Southern desert areas including Ayers Rock, Alice Springs, Coober Peddy, Kalgoorlie) TEMPERATE (Southern Coast including Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth) TEMPERATE COOL (Tasmania and Southern Alps) For more information visit Australian Bureau of Meteorology web site containining good climatic Australia maps and comprehensive information on climate. |
