Hi there,
Each state/territory is different from the others in lots of different ways (weather/population/landscape)

Just a quick run down (Im sure others will add to the list)

Australian Capital Territory (ACT)- Canberra
* is very picturesque
gets warm in summer, and very cold in winter

Queensland-Brisbane
* The further north you go, the warmer it is (ex: Cairns is warm all year, 6 months warm, humid, wet and the other 6 months warm and dry)
* further south it gets very warm in summer, and winters are still generally mild

New South Wales-Sydney
* can be warm in summer, and does get cool in the winter -more so in the mountainous regions
* further nth you go in NSW, the warmer it gets

Northern Territory-Darwin
* is generally warm all year
again hot, humid, wet for 6 months, hot and dry the other 6 months

South Australia-Adelaide
* has very warm summers and winters can get cool-especially in the SE areas.

Tasmania-Hobart
* is the coolest of the states
summer is mild, and winters are very cold

Victoria-Melbourne
* can have warm summers, and cold winters
also known as the state that can have all 4 seasons in 1 day
(personally my fav area of all)

Western Australia-Perth
* summers can be hot-especially nth of Perth and winters can ce cool-cold in southern areas

Hope this helps...they are all very different places

We are in regional South Australia because we fell in love with it. We rarely get a frost - last winter (we arrived in July) had a couple of frosts and they were gone by 9am. The summer that is just finishing had some unusually hot temperatures up to 40 degrees C, which is unusual. Adelaide actually had a heat wave for about 12 days.

South Australia tends to be warmer than Tasmania and Victoria, and where we are doesn't have the water problems of Victoria or other parts of South Australia. Although we do get all 4 seasons, we don't get them in the one day like Melbourne

It's quite strange at the moment since the bottle brush is flowering again, so the honey eater birds are in it again, and there are crocuses flowering, and the lawns need cutting since we've had some rain, so it feels like Spring to me but it's actually Autumn!

Karen
