Australia has summer, autumn, winter and spring, the same as other countries. The difference is that the contrast between seasons is not as obvious as it is in countries of the northern hemisphere, and it is more marked in the southern states.

Spring begin on the 1st of September and runs through to November, Summer is from 1 December to the end of February, Autumn is from 1 March to May, and Winter is from 1 June to the end of August.

In the far tropical north, there are still the four seasons, but more obvious are the 'wet' and 'dry' seasons. Late spring and throughout summer is the time when the monsoons move in, and the weather is hot and humid throughout this time, whilst winter is a dry season, and the most pleasant for travellers. The indigenous people of the far north recognise six distinct seasons.

For most of the southern part of the continent, the weather in autumn or spring are the most pleasant times weather-wise as milder conditions prevail. The summer months are extremely hot and dry in the centre and, surprisingly, also in the south, such as in Victoria and South Australia.

Winter is pleasant in the central parts with clear sunny days but very cold nights. The winters are not overly cold anywhere in the country except in the Alps and parts of Tasmania which receive snowfall. Victoria has a tendency to be a bit wet and miserable at times during winter. Tasmania probably experiences the most marked difference between the seasons, but even Tasmania can have very cool days in summer.
