About Megan Expertise I can answer general questions on Australia (places to go, how to get around) I have lived in Canberra, Melbourne and Brisbane so have extensive knowledge on those and surrounding areas. I have also been to Adelaide and Sydney a lot because family live there. I have been to all states EXCEPT Northern Territory and Western Australia. I have driven from Brisbane to Melbourne several times and know good stops etc. I have also travelled further north to Cairns and other coastal regions. I have been to all the Gold Coast theme parks so can advise there too.
Experience I feel I have a excellent knowledge of Australia I have lived here for my whole life (except 4 years) and have travelled extensively.
Education/Credentials I completed year 12 in 2005 and am currently studying a bachelor of international business.
Question HI,Megan! It is the first time My parents and I travel to Australia to visit my relative living in Sydney. My parents are old and cannot stand the cold weather, so could you tell me how the weather is in Sydney (ex: the winter start and end in which month? and how is the temperature? and the spring, summer, autumn also). Thank you so much for your help.
Answer Hi Van,
Sydney is one of those funny cities similar to Melbourne in the fact it is very hard to predict (although it is easier than Melbourne which has 4 seasons in a day). I looked up the average weather forcast through BBC and this is what I got. (read underneath for my advice)

I would recomend visiting in October because the weather is nice then not too hot or too cold plus it is an off peak time so accomodation and flights etc will be cheaper. The school break is in Sept which means by October attractions won't be as crowded. Even November isn't too bad but if you go in December or January expect crowds. It depends how hot or cold you like your weather being from Queensland (up north) I'm used to hotter weather and have no problem in Summer in Sydney. In Sydney you have winter from May to July but April and August are also cool. In summary I would reccomend Oct-Feb for travel to Sydney to avoid the cooler weather.
Hope this helps. Please contact me if I can help any further :)
