March-April: Autumn Comfort

Southern autumn delivers ideal temperatures for comfortable exploration, with smaller crowds making sightseeing relaxed and accessible throughout most regions.

September-October: Spring Awakening

Moderate warming temperatures suit city touring, while Western Australia's wildflower season provides beautiful landscapes during the tropical dry season.

Seasonal Considerations

Summer (December-February) heat and humidity across Australia can challenge seniors, while tropical wet seasons bring travel disruptions. However, southern winter months (June-August) have mild temperatures with fewer crowds and better value, making them ideal for wine regions and cultural experiences.
