The seasons dominate Australia’s climate and defines the main climate regions. From tropical, to subtropical and wetter and colder weather, Australia has it all.

This wide variety of climates gives rise to perfect agriculture regions in states like Queensland which has wonderfully grown fruits and vegetables, to the vineyards of Victoria producing award-winning wines.

In most of the Southern and Southeastern states you would be able to experience living in all four seasons in a year. However unlike the Northern hemisphere, Australia experiences summer at the end of the year and winter in the middle of the year.
