The way the Earth works never ceases to amaze us. When it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere it would be winter in the Southern Hemisphere. The seasons work differently in every part of the world. Winters in Australia are marked by a moderate climate, with a lot of fun activities to do and the best part is that you can pay less for them. Yes, you heard that right! Winter being an-off season makes everything cheaper from flights, hotels and tourist attractions. If you're planning a trip to Australia and don’t know where to start. Read along the following guide.
Be a part of Vivid Sydney
A metropolitan city like Sydney is inevitable on this list as there are a lot of things to do here no matter the time of visit. During the late months of May through mid June, the city will be embellished with innovative light installations, the streets filled with exhilarating music programs and thought-provoking workshops. This is part of the world-famous festival of light, music and ideas known as Vivid Sydney. Go on a Vivid Cruise in Sydney to soak up all the harbour fiestas away from the crowd and with a delicious food and drinks menu. Enjoy everything from the Lighting of the Sails of the Opera House, the Harbour Bridge, Luna Park and much more from the comfort of your cruise! Be on the radar for the best Vivid Cruise deals and enjoy the biggest festival of lights in the Southern Hemisphere like never before. You can even buy drinks and other beverages to further take your experience to new heights.
Trip to Uluru
Uluru is one of the most iconic natural wonders of the nation and this unusual rock formation has welcomed over a million of tourists every year. If you're going to visit Uluru in the summer months you will be in the middle of intense heat, a mammoth amount of flies, and a whole lot of sweating! In contrast to this, the winter months bring more of a perfect temperature, ideal for exploring the region to its fullest and at your own pace, without having to stop every five minutes for a water break! On top of that the winter weather is also optimal for a road trip. Driving through this rugged outback will give you the feeling of driving through Mars, so rent out a camper van and take a road trip from Darwin to Ayers Rock!
Explore Tasmania
The island state of Australia is an underrated tourist destination with a lot to explore and enjoy. Winter in Tasmania brings forth a crisp winter air, recurring snowfalls and frozen lakes, which only adds to gorgeous landscapes of the region. And the cold weather means there are far less crowd to fight it out for that Insta worthy picture! You can spot the Southern Right Whales and Humpbacks as they migrate north along the nation’s coast and the best time to watch them is in the months of May. Another sight to see is the Southern Lights, which is just as spectacular as the Northern Lights but is incredibly rare. This should be on everyone’s bucket list and is definitely worth aligning your trip accordingly. Watching the sky turn shades of blue, green and purple is a luxury that only the lucky ones get to enjoy so don’t miss out and get going!
Visit Kangaroo Island
A whole Island named after Kangaroos? Yep! The island resembles a desktop wallpaper, absolutely stunning. Staying the night here is highly recommended but a day trip from Adelaide will also do. Feed a Kangaroo, watch the little joeys frolic around, admire the sea lions resting on the shores and maybe even hug a Koala.
