Australia is good to visit all year round, if you choose the cities well. Being a vast continent, different cities have varied weather conditions. June to August is when winter hits Australia, while the summer months are December to February. Some cities such as Adelaide are quite hot during summer, yet can be visited in the rest of the months. Melbourne experiences extreme cold weather during the winter months, so remember to take winter clothing along.
Australia is a vast continent that needs time to do justice to. A 9 day vacation would let you cover atleast 3 cities and is the minimum time you should spend on an Aussie vacation. A 12 day vacation would ideally be one that would let you explore a bit of the outbacks and maybe even the Great Barrier Reef. It's once in a lifetime, so go on and take that vacation!

Tourism in Australia plays a major role in shaping the economy of the country. It is one of the countries in the world where you can find diverse landscape consisting of deserts, rainforests, beaches and mountains. With so many people visiting Australia every year, here’s a list of things that everyone should know before visiting the Land Down Under.
Australia is located in the Southern hemisphere which makes its seasons at opposite times to those in the northern hemisphere. There are four seasons across most of the country and a wet and dry season in the tropical north. December to February is summer; March to May is autumn; June to August is winter, and September to November is spring.
Australia has three separate time zones: Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST), Australian Central Standard Time (ACST), and Australian Western Standard Time (AWST).
• AEST is equal to Coordinated Universal Time plus 10 hours (UTC +10).
• ACST is equal to Coordinated Universal Time plus 9½ hours (UTC +9½).
• AWST is equal to Coordinated Universal Time plus 8 hours (UTC +8).
Australia’s national currency is Australian dollars (AUD), which comes in denominations of $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100 notes. Coins come in 5, 10, 20 and 50 cents and one and two dollar denominations. Australia has a Goods and Services Tax (GST) of 10% for which you may claim a refund if you have spent AUD$300 or more with a single business, no more than 60 days before departing Australia.
Currency exchange is available at banks, hotels and international airports. There is no limit to the amount of currency you can bring in or out of Australia, however, if you arrive in Australia with more than AUD$10,000 in cash, you must declare it to Australian Customs at the airport when you land.
Of the three network providers in Australia (Telstra, Optus, Vodafone), since Optus has physical stores throughout Australia, including international airports, buying one of its SIMs is simple and easy. You can top up your Sim card by buying a voucher from an Optus retail store, or from most supermarkets, gas stations, and convenience stores. You can check their plans here.
