Is Winter the Best Time to Visit Sydney?

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.

The Sydney winter isn't really harsh and the weather's generally pleasant so long as you're dressed right for when it gets quite chilly. It's great for touring the city on foot and for bushwalking. And the ski slopes are not too far away.
