Weather

Weather shifts through genuine seasons here, from July's cool stretch to January's warmth, with rain a little heavier around July and lighter around February — real variation, but nothing as sharp as a true monsoon or Mediterranean dry season. In February, expect highs around 26°C with rain on roughly 8 days of the month.

Things to Do

The Great Ocean Road and Yarra Valley wineries are popular day trips, alongside Melbourne's laneway cafe culture and street art.
