Four things to do in Australia this spring
It’s the middle of the summer in the UK, but Aussies are waiting for their springtime. Luckily, Australia is not on another planet, so those who want to experience the country’s spring can do so. Nothing excites a traveller more than going into the big unknown – what will they see and learn, who will they meet and how long will it take to come back… Those questions race through the mind.
Preparing for the trip can be both stressful and exciting. Travellers must research all those must-sees and things to do while away in a foreign country. To make things easier, here’s a list of things to do in Australia’s spring 2022.
Visit Western Australia’s Wildflower Country
Located a few hours north of Perth, the Wildflower Country will fill the senses with vibrant colours and a pleasant smell. It’s a collective group of nine local government areas to show people worldwide this explosion of colour. There are four main ways and routes to explore: one can go on foot or use a bike. It’s well worth heading there to enjoy the peace that only secluded and preserved places have. Staying there for a few days is the best way to soak up all the colours and smells. From June through November, this place erupts in bloom with more than 12,000 wildflower species.
Find a date with a local to see hidden gems
Regardless of how many times one visits a place, it’s never possible to know it the way the locals do. That’s a fact. They know all the hidden gems in the area, and travellers who love to mix exploration with pleasure might go online to find a date with a local. There’s nothing wrong with pairing up while travelling and it’s a great way to discover gems hidden away from the eyes of tourists. But before jumping on a plane, holiday planners can join some of the best hookup websites in Australia that will help find single locals who can reveal all the best places. And by the time the flight touches down, there will have been time to build a proper rapport, thanks to the video chat feature on each site from the list. It’s nice to have somebody by one’s side while away from home, bringing a sense of security and ease.
And after the exploration and revealing gems in the area, the adventure can be continued in the bedroom!
Attend the 2022 AFL Grand Final in Melbourne
There are a lot of people who travel around the globe to attend sports events. The main goal of their travels is to see a tennis match or a UFC fight. For anyone who’s in Australia in September, attending the 2022 AFL Grand Final is a definite highlight.
Even for people who are not sports (or football) lovers, seeing a football finale can still make the blood tingle with adrenaline – just from the crowd, the cheering and numerous Aussies having fun! Sports events bring people together, and it’s easy to get carried away by the cheering and chanting, just like in the UK. It’s also a fun opportunity to meet a local who will want to celebrate (or one who will want to drink away the bitter taste of losing). Either way, visitors can win in both scenarios. If that isn’t enough, Robbie Williams will be headlining the AFL Grand Final.
Taste the famous New World Shiraz from the best wineries
At least 25 Australian wine regions produce marvellous Shiraz or Syrah. To taste this excellent wine, one must go down south. Regions such as Yarra Valley, Mornington Peninsula, Geelong and Tasmania produce the best examples. Of course, there’s not necessarily any requirement to go to the vineyards to taste this outstanding wine: anyone can do it in a restaurant, but it’s worth noting that those bottles won’t come cheap, as one should expect. Nonetheless, ordering a traditional Australian meal and a glass of Shiraz is the perfect way to get to know Australia even better. Travellers say that a deeper understanding of a country comes with eating and drinking authentically.
This concludes the list of things to do in Australia this summer and some inspiration to to leave the grey skies of the UK behind and visit. While there, the Great Barrier Reef is an absolute must if there’s time. It’s a one-of-a-kind wonder of nature.
