Australia is in the Southern Hemisphere — meaning its seasons are completely reversed from Europe and Asia 🌏. December and January are summer, June and July are winter. The continent is enormous — the tropical north has a completely different climate from the temperate south. The best news: no matter which month you fly, some part of Australia always has wonderful weather.
