Go on a walking tour, cruise the harbour, laze away the day on a Sydney beach, get up close and personal with Sydney wildlife...
And for Broome and the Barossa, and quite a few other Bs buzzing around vying for attention. Brisbane, capital of Queensland, may on occasion be bypassed for the Gold and Sunshine Coasts and the Great Barrier Reef but is certainly an attraction in itself.
Yes, it's nearly winter — and ski time — in Australia.
If you prefer the cold to heat, especially if seeking to escape the northern summer, the best time to visit Sydney could be in the Australian winter from June 1 to August 31.
With long stretches of a white sand beach, seas of such clear blue purity, palm-fringed coast, sunset camel treks, parasailing and water sports, sundrenched resorts, and the air of an exotic and distant tropical eden, Cable Beach does conjure in one's mind a certainly desirable holiday destination.

Well, yes, it's almost winter in Australia and can get really cold in some parts of the country. Canberra in the winter, for instance, does get rather cold, relatively speaking, with a mean temperature range in July, the coldest month, from -0.2°C (32.4°F) to 11.2°C (52.2°F). While one is tempted to simply snuggle up before a roaring, warming fire and pass the time that way, there are always a few things to do despite the winter chill.
