August is when southerners, sick of winter's grey-sky drear, head to Queensland for some sun. It's almost the last chance to head to the tropical Top End and outback before things get too hot and wet.
Spring heralds a rampant bloom of wildflowers across outback Western Australia and South Australia, with flower festivals happening in places like Canberra and Toowoomba. Football finishes and the Spring Racing Carnival begins. The weather avoids extremes everywhere, so it's a good time to go camping or to hang out at some vineyards. The build-up to the rains begins in the Top End — very humid. Northern beaches may close due to "stingers" — jellyfish in the shallow waters off north Queensland, the Northern Territory and Western Australia.
Outdoor events ramp up and the surf life-saving season flexes its muscles on beaches everywhere. Ring the bell, school's out! Holidays usually begin a week or two before Christmas. Cities are packed with shoppers and the weather is desirably toasty.
Up north, monsoon season is under way and afternoon thunderstorms bring pelting rain.

June is the wettest month, but still averages only a little over 3 inches of rain. In the summer, it's not uncommon to have months with no rain. At left is Jacob's Creek vineyard in the Barossa Valley, one of the important wine regions of Australia.
Melbourne , in Victoria, has a reputation for changeable weather, but generally the climate is temperate with warm summers averaging 77F , mild spring and fall seasons, and cool winters averaging 57F.
Pictured are the limestone formations known as the Twelve Apostles, located on the Great Ocean Road about miles west of Melbourne. Perth , in Western Australia, the rainfall is greatest from May to September.
The hottest month is February, averaging 88F; winter temperatures average about 65F. A cooling breeze known as "The Fremantle Doctor" blows in from the sea to keep the city comfortable. Tasmania , the island southeast of the main continent, the climate is mild and temperate. With no part of the island more than about 75 miles from the water, the ocean has a big effect on the climate.
Because it's much farther from the equator than the rest of Australia, the seasons are more distinct.
