Answering the question on when is best to visit Australia is not easy. After all it is a HUGE continent with a number of different weather zones. It also has a lot to offer. Most visitors think of Australia as a surfers paradise, heat, endless beaches and rain forest but don't forget, it snows too... and if you are looking to hit the slopes, you may not want to visit in January.
Australia is a year-round destination - there will usually always be a place that’s too hot or too flooded to visit but there will also always be a places to go see and explore where the weather is ideal.
Generally, the best months to visit Australia are September and October, when it's often still warm enough to hit the beach in the southern states, it's cool enough to tour the Red Centre and Ayers Rock, the humidity and rains have not come to Cairns and the Top End (It will be very hot by October though), and the wildflowers are in full bloom in Western Australia.
