Winter is mostly spent at home for relaxing and staying comfortable. Usually, Aussies like to escape the frosty temperatures by moving North. But there is no better time to enjoy an Aussie getaway than in Winter. With only half of the nation experiencing the cold spell, the other half of the country is warm and dry. In Australia, we are lucky enough to have the option to relish both a tropical holiday or a snowy adventure. Here are some of our great Aussie Winter holiday destinations – bearing in mind some changes may apply due to COVID-19. ULURU – Check out the new Field of Light installation, where artist Bruce Munro has planted more than 50,000 lights in the desert. You can see the display by self-guided tours, on camelback or on a helicopter tour. Uluru Camel Racing Club’s Camel Cup will kick off the 2019 event at the Outback Pioneer Hotel & Bar with boot scooting and entertainment on Friday night, before the big Camel Cup race on Saturday. TOP END – Darwin’s Mindil Sunset Markets run every Thursday and Sunday night throughout the winter months. Dine on a huge range of cuisines from Thai and Sri Lankan to Brazilian and Greek, or shop at market stalls for fashion, jewellery and local craft.Being the dry season, most of the attractions at Kakadu and Litchfield National Parks will be open as there should be minimal flooding. Plus, free movies under the stars! SNOWY MOUNTAINS – With more than 30 artists playing over the four-day event, Peak Music Festival is the official kick-off of the snow season at Perisher. There is normally a range of Australian and international acts across 10 stages at the mountain resort.Experience a white Christmas… in July at Thredbo, where you can watch the big guy in the red suit carve his way down the slopes.They’re called “snowy” for a reason, and the area is the closest place for Australians to go skiing or snowboarding. HAMILTON ISLAND – Watch the flurry of yachts set sail around the Whitsunday Islands during the Audi Hamilton Island Race Week, a must for boating enthusiasts.Stinger season ends in May, so feel free to dive into the turquoise waters, explore the colourful underwater reefs, or just enjoy the stunning Whitehaven Beach without slipping into a stinger suit first. With many of our favourite holiday destinations being out of reach this Winter due to travel restrictions, there are fantastic options available closer by. Australians have an adventurous spirit and once the travel restrictions are lifted, will once again start to plan travel in and around Australia. We will be welcoming guests from near & afar and are already taking bookings for the next 6 months. Our properties are also professionally cleaned, sanitised and disinfected after each guest to ensure complete cleanliness. Remember to Look out for one another, Be aware, Be kind and Stay safe!!
