Things to Look Out For
The distances are real
Australia is the size of Europe, and the map flattens that. Sydney to Melbourne is an hour's flight, not a drive, and Perth is four hours in the air from the east coast. Plan on internal flights between cities, not roads, and don't try to 'pop over' to the reef or the Red Centre on a whim. The country is far bigger than a two-city trip lets on.
The sun bites
The ozone is thin over Australia and the sun is genuinely fierce, even on a mild day. Locals say 'slip, slop, slap' and mean it. A morning at Bondi without sunscreen will leave you red by lunch. Hat, high-factor cream, and a shirt for the middle of the day; the UV index here runs higher than almost anywhere you've burned before.
The coffee is serious
Australia takes its coffee more seriously than almost anywhere, and the vocabulary is its own. A 'flat white' was arguably invented here, a 'long black' is an Americano upside down, and asking for a 'latte' in a good Melbourne bar marks you as a tourist. The chains struggle here because the independent cafés are so good. Drink it where the locals queue.

Plan Your Timing
When to Go
Australia is a continent, so the answer depends where you go, but the broad window for the southern cities. Sydney, Melbourne, the wine country. Is the spring-to-autumn stretch of September to April, when the days are long and warm without the deep-winter chill of June to August. The tropical north flips: Cairns and the reef are best in the dry season from May to October, while December to March there is hot, wet, and stinger season in the sea. Sydney and Melbourne stay pleasant through their summer; only the interior and the far north truly bake.
