Time zones and jet lag. South Korea is in the same time zone as some of Australia and for a very brief 10-day trip, jet lag can be a factor.
Aside from which, northern Australia doesn't have winter. Unless you think that 25C daytime highs are winter.
I'd like to suggest Victoria or Tasmania, as they are both beautiful, but I think they'd probably be too cold.
