Activities to do in Australia in August
As spring approaches, the south experiences a minor increase in temperature compared to July, while the tropical north experiences warm, dry weather. Expect crowds and price increases in northern locations as sun-lovers from the south scramble to experience the warmth of Australia in August. August is the final month of winter in Australia. The possibilities are endless, though, and you can visit the beaches of Queensland, ski on Australian mountains, discover the animals of the outback, or enjoy the wintertime charm of the south with a lot of things to do in Australia in August. It's wonderful to be warm in desert areas like Uluru or Alice Springs, but be careful at night when the temperature drops. The northern portions are hot and dry; Darwin reports average highs of 87°F. Visit the northern Queensland beaches with snowbirds, go hiking in the national parks of the Northern Territory, or go skiing in the Victoria mountains.
