Seasons And Months: Australia

Following the heat comes Autumn, which encompasses March, April, and May. In many ways, this is the most gentle and visually stunning time of year in the southern regions. The crushing heat of summer retreats, replaced by warm days and crisp nights. It is the season of the "March equinox," bringing a shift in foliage, particularly in the valleys of Victoria and New South Wales where European deciduous trees turn brilliant shades of gold and amber. It is a favored time for wine harvesting and outdoor festivals before the winter chill sets in.
