Spring:
Aerate a heavily matted lawn using a scarifier when the soil is warm and dry. To assist growth, use a long-term fertilizer during the Spring months (March/April). To encourage a thick lawn, mow once a week. During periods of intense growth, cut the lawn twice a week. The first cut of the year: Only use newly sharpened blades so that the grass, to maintain healthy grow and a lush looking lawn.

Summer:
Avoid cutting your grass too short when very hot, as it may lose all its nutrients. Leave it at least 5 cm high and water well. Mow your "holiday lawn" in several passes.

Autumn:
Mow less frequently when the weather is dry. Fertilizing in Autumn is optional, particularly if the lawn has been mulched, but be aware that this will not have any effect until the following Spring. With the last cut of the year, leave the grass slightly higher than normal. Test the soil for lime, phosphor or potassium.

Winter:
The ideal cutting height for winter dormancy should be around 4 – 5 cm. Your lawn needs its peace therefore it is advised to refrain from walking on the grassy area as little as possible to avoid damaging sensitive lawn plants.

I found such ideas going on through web search which shared about gardeningnorthside.com.au/lawn-mowing-north-shore-sydney lawn mowing north shore who provide all creative ideas about gardening and landscaping.
