Taking a Summer Vacation during the Winter

By Cordelia Kennedy

As the weather in North America starts getting colder and colder, many residents travel south to enjoy the sun and the warmer temperatures. But are they traveling far enough south? Instead of traveling to the south-east or south-west, maybe you should consider traveling a little further, all the way to Australia. Since Australia is on the opposite side of the equator from North America, the seasons are opposite as well. As we are moving towards winter, Australia is moving towards summer, with beautiful weather and beautiful beaches.

Of course the weather is only one reason to travel to Australia, which provides beautiful scenery and gorgeous sites year round. The temperature in Australia is moderate all year, which means no matter when you visit you will have great beach weather. There is an added benefit of going to Australia during our winter, since you get to experience the great summer climate in Australia, and you also get to avoid the cold here, but really any time of year is a great time to visit.

No more tanning booths in the winter time just plan a vacation to the Gold Coast, and you will enter paradise. Surf or snorkel the days away and party all night long, in Surfers Paradise you will find some of the most incredible nightlife and sun and surfing by day. These regions of Australia contain perhaps some of the most incredible beaches in the entire world.

Just about 14 hours from plane, and you can enter this magical land, rich in green luscious rainforests where unique creatures live and beaches that offer you the sound of crashing Pacific Ocean waves to wake to by day or to fall asleep to at night. Australia is an amazing land that offers a lot of natural entertainment as well as some incredible theme parks, swimming, boating and deep sea dives.

In the middle of all the excitement you will find accommodation in the center of the rainforests, or in the heart of all the hustle and bustle city life. From shopping to galleries, there is something for everyone to enjoy. There are accommodation that caters to golfers, romantic getaways and family vacations. So when you are looking to escape the feeling of cabin fever, during those winter months, book a flight and head to the Gold Coast region of Australia. It will be just what you need to get you through the winter gloom.
