depending on what part of the country you visit. But in general, April brings pleasant
mid-autumn temperatures across Australia.

enough in most areas to sit on the beach or snorkel in the clear waters. You can expect
to find lots of fall events taking place across the country as Australians make the most
of the sunny weather before the start of winter in June. The biggest celebration is
Anzac Day, a nationwide celebration that commemorates Australia's World War I
veterans. The biggest parades for this holiday are in Canberra, Australia's capital, but
you can enjoy all types of festivals in most major cities throughout April. Australia
