💰 Most Affordable Time
May to August is generally more affordable for travelers, especially in northern parts of Australia. Accommodation and flight prices tend to be lower during this off-peak season.
🌞 Best Weather for Sightseeing
Southern Australia (Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide): The spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) months offer pleasant temperatures, ideal for sightseeing and outdoor activities.
Northern Australia (Cairns, Darwin, Great Barrier Reef): The dry season (May to October) has low humidity, cooler temperatures, and minimal rainfall, making it perfect for exploring the outdoors.

📍 Recommendations
For budget travelers, visit during Australia's winter (June to August) for savings, especially in southern regions. Tropical north Australia is best explored during this time for pleasant weather, though prices may be higher.
For optimal sightseeing, plan trips during the shoulder seasons of spring and autumn for moderate temperatures and fewer crowds.
Align your visit with major festivals or national holidays to experience Australia's rich culture, but be prepared for potentially increased travel costs.
