Summer in Australia is synonymous with the beach. It is a time of school holidays, cricket matches, and backyard barbecues. The days are long, hot, and humid, particularly in the northern coastal regions.
If you want to swim but don't want to freeze, head north. If you love skiing, head to the Snowy Mountains. If you are in Sydney, it’s a great time to cuddle a koala at the zoo or catch a show at the Sydney Opera House.
