The months between December and February are the summer in Australia. It is known for having high temperatures and featuring a lot of sun. While many tourist attractions are closed during the wet season (November to April, characterized by heavy rainstorms and soaring humidity), people can still have a lot of fun and memorable experiences during the summer. Here are some great ideas for how a family can make the most of this season. 1. Go For a Fun Hike Tasmania is a region in Australia that boasts some of the most scenic outdoor landscapes around. There are stunning activities that can cater to any activity level, from a strenuous hike up the Three Capes Track to a leisurely walk along white-sand beaches. There are a ton of gorgeous lookouts dotted around this state. Make sure to take a break and try some lavender-flavoured ice cream from the Bridestowe Estate. 2. Explore the Great Barrier Reef As one of the largest natural formations in the world, the Great Barrier Reef stretches over 1,400 miles along Australia's west coast. Because it is so big, the weather at the northern end can be quite different from the weather at its southern edge. Many people choose to visit the Great Barrier Reef at the beginning of summer, as this is when the corals are spawning, which is an exciting experience to witness. Many people choose to explore the Reef by snorkelling or diving. 3. See Some Wildlife Although the majority of visitors to Australia go for the natural beauty it can offer, it is also a sanctuary for some of the most incredible wildlife on this planet. To be sure, many people visit the coastline to soak up some sun, but t is just as popular to visit the expansive national parks or swim with the dolphins at Jurien Bay. Explore Le Grand National Park to see immaculate white sand beaches populated by the native kangaroo. Taking a trip to Australia can be captivating at any time of year. However, this continent gets the most visitors during the summer months. With a ton of tourist attractions, no one will be bored when they go to Australia as a tourist.
