lahlah57 Posted July 28, 2013 #1 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Would really like to go to australia and new zealand in june or july since it is only feasible for me because of my job. Am I being practical in my thoughts for a trip this time of year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted July 28, 2013 #2 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Our first trip to Australia and NZ was in July and we had a wonderful time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MMDown Under Posted July 28, 2013 #3 Share Posted July 28, 2013 If you visit Northern Australia, the weather is lovely at that time of year. Many Australians travel north during the winter, for the warmer weather. Suggest you check weather of places which you wish to visit. NZ will be colder than Australia.

Alaska05 Posted July 28, 2013 #4 Share Posted July 28, 2013 We did a 14-day land trip to Australia & New Zealand 11 years ago in July. We thought the weather was perfect (I hate really hot weather). We even ate dinner outside one night in Sydney. Most times just a light jacket was required in south Australia and no jacket in the north. NZ was colder, but not like the winters I'm used to in Ohio. I would do it again in a heartbeat.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annenic Posted July 30, 2013 #5 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Yesterday was 25 deg c (77F) in Sydney. Today, right now, midday is 20C (68F) - admittedly we have had a really warm winter but our winter weather is usually pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare aussielozzie18 Posted July 30, 2013 #6 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Definitely come to Australia. QLD and Sydney NSW have mild winters which won't stop you doing anything (apart from swimming in the ocean in Sydney) but lovely time of year to walk along the beaches and do pretty much anything else really. New Zealand is much colder - good time to go if you're keen on skiing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karennella Posted July 30, 2013 #7 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Actually I've seen plenty of people in the surf in Sydney, without wetsuits, these past few weeks. I love the winter here and choose to stay home and enjoy it. Most of the restaurants with outdoor areas have heaters for sitting outside at night.

Rare MMDown Under Posted July 31, 2013 #8 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Sydney has just experienced the hottest July on record and many places have had warmer winter weather than usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Big_M Posted August 1, 2013 #9 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Just like I enjoyed my Dec/Jan trip to Europe, no reason not to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
