Which area of Australia to what time of the year ?

Australia climate zones I have marked each State, Territory with a different colour I feel it represents each distinguishing area of Australia. Please find my complete list divided into climate zones:
  1. New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania
    Spring time: October, November
    Summer time: December, January, February
    Autumn time: March, April, Mai
    Winter Time: June, July, August
     
  2. Victoria coastal area and Tasmania
    The ideal time for visiting the Great Ocean Road and Tasmania is the summer (December-February). I would not recommend Tasmania between March-October, because of the cold and rainy weather
     
  3. Queensland, southern part
    Pleasant weather almost the all year through. In winter time (June-August) temperature drop
     
  4. Queensland, northern part
    Almost tropical weather all year through with rain season in the upper north during some months, generally from October-February. For visiting the Great Barrier Reef the ideal period is July-August.
     
  5. Western Australia, southern part
    In WA the weather is almost permanently pleasant with summer heat peaks from December-February.
     
  6. Western Australia, northern part
    Tropical weather with rainy season (November-April) and dry seasons (May-October).
    Recommended time for visiting Broome, Kimberley area is the dry season but careful this time of the year is the busiest time, therefore if you wish some peaceful holiday you’d better pick an off beaten time of the year.
     
  7. Top End
    Tropical weather with rainy season from (End October-End May). Better time for visiting is the dry season, but rainy season also has its charming effects, such as lush vegetation, beautiful colours and stunning sunsets scenarios.

    The Australian wet season usually starts in November and last until March-April but it does vary depending on region and also the atmospherical condition. It does not mean that it rains all the time,
    but sometimes it hits the extremes i.e. either it rains heavily for an entire week with no stop or it can be pleasent and sunny for longer period with just little bit of drizzle rain now and then.

    It is very difficult if not impossible to know how the wet season will be every year, so the better is to check out every day and get an update from the rainfall forecast  this can help you planning your trip and eventually amend in time your itinerary according to the local current weather conditions. Beware that by heavy rainfalls roads may be also closed!! In this case you will not be able to access your destination area either by car nor by any other tranportatin means and you will have to reschedule your visit or change your plan and/ or head to some other places.
