Australia is a year-round holiday destination that has much to offer travellers, whatever month they choose to visit.
This is the view of Rodney Harrex, general manager for the UK and Northern Europe at Tourism Australia, who said that even in the winter there is great weather to be found somewhere.
For example, between October and March, the southern states enjoy the warm, sunny weather that makes Australia so well-loved among tourists.
However when temperatures begin to cool, the northern, more tropical parts, including the Great Barrier Reef, are at their best, and are generally dry and hot.
Mr Harrex also sought to dispel the myth that Australia cannot be a two-week holiday destination for UK travellers and instead requires a month or more.
“Australia offers unique holiday experiences in stunning surrounds, and as long as they don’t try and pack too much in to their itinerary, holidaymakers will have a fantastic time in as little as a fortnight,” he insisted.
Many of us are spending more time outside eating food that is made on a grill, hanging out with friends, and enjoying the summer nights that are here. This also means, that cleaning up is different.
