Still on a high from your Christmas break? Wish it could last longer? Got some spare January days you can tap into for a getaway? Yeah, you know where we’re going with this.
If this year you've resolved to cash in on more "me" time then it's never too early to start pampering yourself with a getaway.
January is one of the best months to explore as people are still on a post-Christmas wind-down and the school holiday breakers are beginning to return.
Plus, there's the Australia Day public holiday at the end of the month so you can make a long-weekend of it without dipping into your annual leave. Much.
Feeling inspired? Here’s are our hit picks for January destinations that won’t be flooded with school kids.
While sun worshippers will be flocking to the Gold Coast or Central Coast to get their tans, for a quieter break with a view, look to Tasmania.

The later in the month, the better. At the beginning of the month, Christmas and New Year's holidaymakers are still around and prices are still high. Families will still be around too, so if you want to avoid, get wind of when the school terms begins again and fly out around then.
Travelling around the Australia Day public holiday can mean you won’t have to use up annual leave, but others will likely be thinking the same. Weigh out your odds, but if you want to avoid peak prices and crowds, choose the weekend before to get away.
