Why You Should Visit Australia This Winter

If you're thinking about traveling this winter but can't decide where to go, let me push you to Australia. Much warmer than where you are now, its relaxing vibe and fresh air might be just what you need! Here are 9 reasons to visit Oz this winter.

 

1. The people

 

One of the things Australians are known for is their friendliness. As the population is made up of many cultures (including Aboriginal Australians), they are a hospitable and multicultural group. Easy-going, optimistic and cheeky, Australians are the perfect hosts if you want to forget about your worries in a few weeks.

 

2. History

 

Australia is home to the world's oldest extant civilization and has a rich Aboriginal culture. From the petroglyphs of the Kimberly to the many Aboriginal tours showcasing the amazing traditional customs of each Aboriginal people's land, this is a great place to immerse yourself in a culture that is thousands of years old.

 

3. The beauty of nature

 

what are you looking for? Rainforest? beach? Mountains? desert? mangrove forest? canyon? Australia does have it all. The flora and fauna are usually found only on the African continent, and visiting here is an experience like no other.

4. The coastline

 

Australia is known for its beautiful beaches - from the white sands of Bondi to the red cliffs of Broome; every beach is different. Whether you want to swim, surf, snorkel, fish or just witness; most coastal towns have several beaches to choose from. Not to mention the offshore attractions. Swimming with whale sharks, exploring the Great Barrier Reef or island hopping is just the beginning.

 

5. Food

 

Australia is full of fresh produce, arts and crafts and other regional delicacies. From hidden local bakeries popping up from town to town to five-star restaurants serving hearty seafood; the quality of Australian food is excellent

 

6. Scope

 

Choosing where to travel in Australia is often the hardest part; or rather, where to start. In Queensland, rainforest meets surf and theme parks are everywhere. Culture, art, food and history collide in Melbourne and Sydney. In Western Australia, you can choose between wine regions, surf spots and pristine white beaches in the south and breathtaking canyons, reefs and deserts in the north.

 

7. Weather

 

If you're looking for warmth, Australia brings the heat. Summer temperatures can top 40 degrees Celsius in most major cities; you can choose between humid heat in the north and dry heat in the south. Summers in Melbourne and Tasmania aren't as hectic if you don't like hot weather.

8. Facilities

 

For the most part, Australians live well and have placed many cities at the top of the global list of "best cities to live". Sports and entertainment venues, clubs, bars, restaurants and theme parks are just some of the amenities available across the country. Business standards are high, technology is modern, and people are helpful. Here you feel good.

 

9. Lifestyle

 

After all, the best thing about Australia is their way of life. Helpful, talkative, wears thongs (or flip flops) wherever you go, cultural type. Nothing too big of a problem. Cities are also relatively easy. If you want to relax, be welcome and have fun, this is the place for you.
