Always growing what does best in your area at the right time of year is one of the cornerstones of organic gardening. If you are new to gardening then concentrate on what does well in your area. Keeping a gardening diary of when you sow what, the date the first and last frost occurred, particular pest outbreaks, will help a newcomer to gardening to get a handle on this. ©copyright Commonwealth of Australia reproduced by permission.

Australian climate zones

The eight climate zones used in Your Home are defined by the Building Code of Australia (BCA). Each climate zone has distinctly different design and construction requirements. Within each main zone are many regional sub-zones determined by local geographic features including wind patterns and height above sea level. The Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme (NatHERS) identifies 69 of these sub-zones, which the BCA addresses and which can be called up by postcode.
