Top Locations To Visit – September 2016



 

With the upcoming April season sold out and June/July well on the way, the time is now for those considering a getaway later in the year to secure the best deals on rental offers for the busy Spring season.

Australia in the month of September is a hubbub of activity that can be felt all across the country. Families break for school holidays, couples elope for romantic getaways and the oldies find themselves tucked away with excitement for the upcoming cruising season.

Whatever your inclination, Australia has some incredible locations and activities to explore in the months leading up to spring. Here are our top 5 suggestions for where best to spend your time this coming season.




1. Launceston, Tasmania and surrounding Areas

For those seeking a slightly cooler destination you will find what you are looking for at the southern tip of the country just over the Bass Strait. Tasmania is geographically small compared to the rest of the country but boasts incredible natural diversity. From rugged wilderness to pristine beaches and soaring mountain peaks, travellers can experience the beauty of the ‘Apple Isle’ easily from Launceston at this time of the year.

Challenge yourself with a hike up the stunning Cradle Mountain, or relax and take in the serenity of Wineglass Bay. All attractions are accessible within a 2.5 hour drive from Launceston and are suitable for all ages. Full service vehicles available from $129 per day.




2. The Gold Coast

Outside of the blistering summer months and the dreary cold of mid-year, September on the Gold Coast sits perfectly between the two seasons allowing travellers to access the full variety of activities available from this part of The Sunshine State. Relax on the world famous sun soaked beaches or spend time with the kids at one of the many theme parks on offer.

The activities are endless and the experiences are never dull in this part of the country. Just remember to pack your sun screen! Rent a family sized camper for as little as $113 per day from The Gold Coast.




3. Alice Springs and the Northern Territory

‘The Top End’ as it is affectionately called is known for its wilder side and for what might be considered by many to be the real ‘Outback’ experience of Australia. The red earth country is home to some of the indigenous populations most sacred cultural sites as well as expansive natural attractions such as Kakadu National Park and Uluru.

Travelers can get up close and personal at a crocodile feeding or lose themselves in a number of walking treks that are sure to capture the adventurous with their natural beauty. Prices start from as low as $78 per day from Alice Springs.




4. The Barossa Valley

Home to one of the finest wine-producing regions in Australia, The Barossa Valley comes to life in September with its bi-annual Vintage Wine Festival.
