Australia October Holidays

Fancy a trip down under? You’ve probably heard about Australia’s blistering sunshine and sizzling hot summers, but if you’re one for exploring in more comfortable temperatures, an Australia October holiday might be just what you’re looking for. In Australia, October falls in the middle of spring, and big cities in the south like Melbourne and Sydney have temperature highs of around 22 degrees Celsius. It’s also the perfect time of year to head to the country’s hotter climes in the north. The Northern Territory and northern Queensland are home to lush rainforest, vast Outback deserts and even crocodiles (but don’t let them put you off! ). Temperatures in these exciting areas can reach sweltering highs of 40 degrees Celsius in the summer, so October is a far more comfortable time to check out Australia’s wild side.

Practical advice and inspiration to help you prepare for your holiday

We’ll design the perfect Australia October holiday for you, but here are a few examples of what you could be getting up to:


See sacred Uluru

Also known as Ayers Rock, Uluru is a huge stone monolith in the middle of the vast and desolate Northern Territory, 280 miles away from the nearest town of Alice Springs. Uluru is sacred to the Aboriginal people, who believe its caves and fissures were formed by ancestor’s spirits. Still today, ceremonies are held in Uluru’s sacred caves.


Hike the Daintree rainforest

On your Australia October holiday, don’t miss a rainforest so spectacular that Sir David Attenborough himself called it ‘the most extraordinary place on Earth’. The trees of this magical place have been growing for more than 180 million years. That’s right – it’s the world’s oldest tropical rainforest by 10 million years, older than even the Amazon.


See the crocodiles in Kakadu National Park

Darwin is the largest city in Australia’s Northern Territory and the gateway to Kakadu National Park, home to well over 10,000 crocodiles. See them safely on your Australia October holiday with an expert guide on a cruise through the Mary River wetlands or the beautiful Yellow Water billabong.
