Best time of the year to visit Australia?

Agree with you Jeff and David
And to save confusion the original poster further, the shoulder period
around Autumn (In Oz thats March - May) is the best average calm weather
over the Eastern Seaboard.
If travelling from the tropics to good ole Melb late April would be a good
time to do it.

Think about this.

It is summer in Oz now!

1st February Melbourne's max. temp. was 36º
2nd February was max. temp. 13º
3rd February was the wettest day in over 150 years. Official fall was
155
mm i.e. 155 litres per square metre. Wild weather with much flooding
and
damage.

Are you sure you want to visit Melbourne?

You should base your decision on averages rather than extremes. Average
annual rainfall for Melbourne is 653 mm.
By comparison Sydney is 1217 mm and Cairns 2003 mm (see www.bom.gov.au)
..
So are you sure you want to visit Cairns?
