What you gain in April
- ↑Bondi to Coogee Coastal Walk at its finest: clear autumn light, manageable temperatures, far fewer beach crowds
- ↑The Royal Botanic Garden and Centennial Park in full autumn colour — Sydney's most photogenic park month
- ↑Prices drop 20–30% from summer peak as international and domestic tourism normalises
What you sacrifice
- ↓Easter typically falls in April — school holiday crowds return briefly and accommodation prices spike for that week
- ↓Rainfall remains high at 127mm — autumn doesn't automatically mean dry; afternoon showers are still common
- ↓Beach swimming season is winding down; water temperature starts to drop and Bondi loses its summer atmosphere
