Thanks to our beautiful climate, every season is the perfect season to explore our backyard. Our temperate waters mean that it is never too cold to snorkel alongside turtles on the Southern Great Barrier Reef or too hot to explore our roadside farm gates and pick up the fresh produce grown 365 days a year.
Being in this incredible subtropical climate means that from time to time, the sky opens up to help keep our backyard green and our farmlands thriving. However, no matter the weather, there’s always something exciting for visitors to discover and to make cherished holiday memories.
