Spring has sprung and to celebrate surviving the winter blues, we're eyeing these top destinations to travel this month.
It's also the end of the school holidays (yay? boo?), so if you haven't yet given the kids a treat, you can find yourself a last-minute break before the term commences again.
Where will you go?
Perth blossoms over spring and when the school kids have returned to learning, you can get busy soaking up that sun and those beautiful wildflowers. Before you get stuck into its exceptional wines, that is.
Located a couple of hours drive away from Hobart, Freycinet National Park is one of the most beautiful places to visit in spring. Enjoy clear skies as you hike to the Wineglass Bay Lookout for some true Instagram-worthy photos.
Once you've finished your trip, head back to Hobart to wine and dine on Tasmania's fresh produce at the Royal Hobart Show.
Just 3.5 hours drive from Brisbane, Grafton is a historic country town featuring classic Australian pubs and farmers' markets. Each year, the town hosts the Jacaranda festival to honour the trees which blanket Grafton in a sea of purple flowers.
Townsville is viewed as the gateway to tropical north Queensland where colourful reefs, verdant rainforests and blissful beaches roll into view. From Townsville, it's a short trip to Magnetic Island which awaits with hikes and history. Otherwise, jump into your car and drive north to tick the Great Barrier Reef off your bucket list.

Broome has become one very popular destination to visit lately. And why not? It has beaches, craggy coastline, dinosaur footprints, and camel rides. Celebrate Indigenous art and culture with the Yawuru people of Rubibi (Broome). Broome is at the top of Australia's local bucket list to visit this year.
Get in this October before the weather gets too hot.
Outside of the school holidays, October is relatively quiet for travellers, making it low season and a great time to travel.
The best time to travel is mid-end October as kids are back in school and, if you're planning to travel around Australia, the weather will be warming up.
