When is your Australia?
The best all-round months. Sydney and Melbourne are warm without being hot, the Reef is calm, and the desert is comfortable. Spring brings whales along the east coast, wildflowers in Western Australia and jacarandas in Sydney around October and November. Diwali falls squarely in this window.
The only comfortable time for the Top End and the Kimberley, and the best time for Cairns, the Reef and Uluru — clear, dry and cool at night. This is the Indian summer holiday, which is why May and June work so well for families heading north. Sydney and Melbourne are cool and grey; Melbourne can be cold.
The southern cities at their best: Sydney's beaches, New Year's Eve fireworks over the harbour, the Australian Open in Melbourne in January, and Tasmania at its warmest. The tropical north is hot, humid and wet, with stingers in the sea, so it is the wrong time for Cairns and Darwin. Uluru is very hot.
Cool in Sydney, cold in Melbourne and Tasmania, with snow in the Snowy Mountains and Victoria's alpine resorts. Rarely a problem for sightseeing, and hotel rates in the south are at their lowest — but the beaches are for walking, not swimming.

Australia visa — what you need to know
Indian passport holders need a visa before travelling to Australia. For a holiday, a cruise, or to visit family and friends, the visa is the Visitor visa (subclass 600) in its Tourist stream, applied for online through ImmiAccount while you are outside Australia. It is decided by the Department of Home Affairs in Australia; there is no embassy interview and nothing is stamped in your passport.
Fee and processing, as the department publishes them The Department of Home Affairs publishes the Tourist stream (outside Australia) fee as from AUD 250 for each applicant, paid in ImmiAccount when you submit; the application is not processed until the fee is paid. Every person applies and pays separately, including children listed on a parent's passport. Health checks, police certificates and biometrics, if requested, are charged separately. The department publishes no fixed processing time for this visa. It points to its visa processing time guide tool, which shows times for recently decided applications and which it describes as "a guide only and not specific to your application". Apply well ahead of your travel dates, do not book non-refundable flights until the grant letter arrives, and confirm the fee when you apply, because it changes. Final visa decisions remain with the Department of Home Affairs.
