Planning around December 2026
December is early summer in Australia — warm to hot across most of the country. It coincides with the end of the school year and the start of the long summer holidays, making it the peak travel season.
- Christmas and the New Year fall during the summer holidays, so book travel and accommodation well in advance.
- When Christmas Day or Boxing Day falls on a weekend, an additional public holiday is usually observed on the following weekday.
