May, Canberra, ACT
Australia’s capital city thrives in autumn. The cityscape blurs into a fusion of autumnal golds, russets and coppers- with chilly mornings giving way to mild days, perfect for digging deeper into Australia’s history which can be done through attractions such as the National Portrait Gallery, Parliament House and the Australian War Memorial. After working up an appetite, stop off at one of the many fab cafés or restaurants for a spot of brunch, lunch or dinner and soak up the incredible hospitality Canberra is known for.
The driving route we’d suggest: Adelaide to Canberra
June, Port Douglas, QLD – East Coast Australia Tours
It’s a myth that Australia is hot all year round but there are some pockets of the country that remain blissfully warm even in the winter months- June, July and August. If you’re looking for a little snap of summer when the rest of the country is cooling, we’d suggest travelling up to Port Douglas, 70kms away from Cairns. The town itself is next to two World Heritage areas, the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree Rainforest. As well as being the month most recommended for sailing, hitting the beach and checking out the rainforest, June is also just before schools break up for a winter holiday, so you’ll miss the influx of families.
The driving route we’d suggest: Cairns to Cooktown
