General:
Canberra in July is COLD: the average daily maximum is 11°C (51°F) and overnight temperatures are often below freezing and sometimes down to -5°C (23°F). Please take care to pack plenty of warm clothes. The plus side is it's usually dry and sunny, there's often snow on the nearby Brindabellas, and you're only three hours' drive from the ski-fields.
