In the northern regions of Australia (Queensland, the Northern Territory, and Western Australia), the winter season is technically not "winter" in the temperate sense. Located largely within the tropics, this region experiences the "Dry Season." During this period, the monsoon trough moves north, resulting in clear skies, low humidity, and warm temperatures. This is the peak time for tourism in cities like Darwin and Cairns, as the risk of cyclones and torrential rain is virtually non-existent.
Poorly insulated rental accommodation can make for "horror nights" if you aren't prepared with heavy bedding; peak travel time for neighboring islands like Fiji, which can become crowded with Australians "escaping the winter". winter of australia
