June Holiday in Australia

Winter settles over the southern states in June, though it rarely feels harsh, more a chance to wrap up for a walk through crisp mountain air. The ski fields of the Snowy Mountains and the Victorian Alps open for the season, while up north the dry season is now in full swing, delivering warm days, cool nights and some of the clearest diving conditions of the year on the Great Barrier Reef.

June Highlights:

Ski resorts including Thredbo and Perisher open for the season, drawing visitors to the Snowy Mountains for skiing and snowboarding.

Visibility on the Great Barrier Reef improves as humidity drops, making June a strong month for diving and snorkelling off Cairns and Port Douglas.

Humpback whale numbers build along the east coast, with Hervey Bay becoming a reliable spot for sightings.

Cool, clear nights across the Red Centre make stargazing at Uluru and around Alice Springs especially rewarding.
