👋 Hey lovely travellers,

As the weather starts to cool a little here in Australia, I hope you’re having a cosy week, whether you’re planning a winter escape or just dreaming of getting out of the house with little ones in tow.

This month I’ve been revisiting some of my favourite winter friendly destinations in Australia, especially places that work beautifully with kids when the weather cools down.

Let’s dive in. 🌏

🌍 Winter holidays in Australia

Winter can actually be one of the best times to travel in Australia with little kids. Fewer crowds, gentler days, and lots of indoor options.

Here are a few winter friendly reads from the blog:

➤ Melbourne for Minis​
Museums, trams, gardens, playgrounds, and all the little moments that make Melbourne such a brilliant city with kids in winter.

➤ The Blue Mountains, NSW​
Museums, trams, gardens, playgrounds, and all the little moments that make Melbourne such a brilliant city with kids in winter.

➤ Two days in Adelaide​

🧠 Family Travel Tip of the Week

Winter travel with kids works best when you stop trying to see everything and start thinking in terms of rhythm.

One good indoor activity. Some fresh air. A warm meal. Then home or back to your accommodation before everyone is overtired. A hot bath is a must to warm up after a big day of exploring!

Melbourne and other Australian cities are brilliant for this kind of travel. You do not need a packed itinerary to have a memorable trip. Often the slower days are the ones kids remember most.

​Umbrellas up, spirits high: what to do on a rainy day in Sydney​

Sydney shines in the summer, but is it still worthwhile visiting in the colder months? This guide is packed full of indoor ideas for a rainy day in Sydney including animal encounters, cultural experiences and all-round fun times.

❤️ Thanks for being here

Winter trips do not have to be big or bold to be worthwhile. Sometimes a change of scenery, a good museum, and somewhere warm for lunch is more than enough.

If you are planning something simple this season, that still counts as travel.

See you next Thursday,
Emma
