Autumn brings different shades of colour to different parts of Australia. Whether you love to admire the striking foliage of wine red and sepia and like to laze around on the beach or step out for an outdoor adventure – the autumn months in Australia are just perfect for almost everything.
Unlike the countries that lie in the Northern Hemisphere, autumn in Australia starts from March and ends in May. If you are planning to book tickets for an overseas holiday, Australia could be the perfect place for you. Have a look at some of the top draws in Australia during autumn.
Swim with Whale Sharks at Ningaloo
Whale sharks flock to Ningaloo every year with the commencement of autumn. You can go on boat trips far out to the sea, while a spotter-plane explores the sea for whale sharks. Once they are spotted, the boat is taken to that location and then you can either choose to see the sharks from the boat, or go snorkelling to see these massive creatures up-close.
Visit Margaret River
Margaret River, situated in the south-western part of Western Australia, is at its best during autumn. The warmth of the sunny days and smaller crowds makes autumn the perfect time to visit the river. It’s a good place for a family picnic as well as solo hiking trips.
Admire the Colours of autumn at Blackwood River Valley
If you are a photography enthusiast or an artist, you will love the Blackwood River Valley. Deciduous trees line the streets and also adorn the gardens and parks around the area. In the months of April and May, the leaves on the deciduous trees start changing colours; from orange to red and finally, to yellow, before falling off and covering the areas in hues of red and yellow. One of the best places to go to see this amazing spectacle is the Balingup Tree Park which has a large variety of trees from all across the globe.
