Winter Getaways
Choose your adventure: Chase the sun, or embrace winter?
The best is still in store for both sunseekers and those who relish the cooler weather.
If endless sunshine and tropical adventures are calling your name, now is the perfect time to chase the sun to Cairns - where the weather is always warm and every day is a pool day. Known as the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef, this vibrant city boasts warm temperatures and stunning natural beauty. Dive into crystal-clear waters, explore lush rainforests, and indulge in the relaxed beachside lifestyle. With outdoor adventures aplenty and an array of festivals and events, Cairns promises unforgettable winter where you can soak up the sun poolside (with a cocktail in hand, of course) and leave your winter scarf behind.
Welcoming the cosiness of winter more your thing?
Head a little further south to Byron Bay and embrace a slower pace with an escape nestled in 45 acres of subtropical rainforest. While the temperatures are cooler, the town’s famous beaches, eclectic shops, and vibrant arts scene remain ever-inviting.
For lovers of good food, incredible wine and indomitable culture, Newcastle invites you to embrace coastal cool. With its mix of historical sites, scenic beaches, and a thriving restaurant and bar scene which is finally making its mark, prepare to explore the city’s heritage architecture, enjoy whale watching, or savour local drops in nearby Hunter Valley.
Or want the neighbourhood vibe with all the conveniences of city living? For a cosy urban winter, embrace the allure of Surry Hills. Known for its boutique shopping, cafe culture, rich (and sometimes scandalous) history, and dynamic nightlife, you'll be in the heart of Sydney - sans the tourist trappings.
For the in-betweeners who want sunshine (but make it temperate!) the mild, sunny winters of Queensland's capital offer a blend of urban sophistication and outdoor adventures. Stroll along the South Bank, visit the bustling markets, and take in the cultural offerings at the Queensland Art Gallery and Gallery of Modern Art. Embrace the unexpected in Brisbane.
