Traveling in the winter doesn’t always mean facing horrible, miserable weather. Whether you’re after a snowy holiday or a tropical getaway, there are a ton of places in Australia that are perfect to travel to in the winter months (and actually a lot more desirable to do so than in the summer). And the best part is, you’ll almost always pay less for accommodation, tours, plane tickets, and pretty much everything else. The only question you should be asking yourself is: what are you waiting for?
1. Hit the slopes in New South Wales & Victoria
Snow in Australia? Say what?! It’s true! Whether you visit the Snowy Mountains in New South Wales or the Victoria Alps in Victoria, you’ll be sure to have an epic ski holiday. Falls Creek in Victoria has some of the country’s steepest terrain and the Snowy Mountains are the highest Australian mountain range. So, you really can’t go wrong.
2. Go hiking in Tasmania
Winter in Tasmania brings crisp winter air, frozen lakes and frequent snowfalls, which complement the landscapes of the region beautifully. And the colder weather brings less crowds to fight with for that perfect Insta picture. Discover Tasmania’s must-see sights here.
