Best travel time
Shoulder seasons, encompassing autumn (March to May) and spring (September to November), present the ideal window to experience Australia's diverse offerings without the peak tourist crowds or extreme weather conditions. During these times, the weather is often mild and pleasant, making it pleasant for outdoor activities such as hiking, wildlife watching, and exploring the country's stunning landscapes.
Additionally, accommodations and attractions are typically more affordable, allowing you to stretch your budget further and potentially indulge in unique experiences or longer stays. With fewer tourists, you can also enjoy a more authentic interaction with local communities and attractions. In essence, the shoulder seasons in Australia provide the perfect balance of favourable weather, affordability, and immersive experiences, making it the optimal time to explore.
"Australia has so many things to offer; wildlife, the outback, Indigenous culture, ocean with coral reef, beaches, rainforest and mountains."
