Looking for a winter break?

As Australia is a whole continent and has most of the population living near the coastal areas, going to the beach is the most popular summer past-time. However, Australia, like many other countries in the world experience four seasons in a year. Albeit small, the winter season is very imposing.

Winter season does bring with it a very different image of the Australian society. It complements the summer season in satisfying Australians love for sports and taking short holidays. Melbourne, Canberra and Sydney are the capital cities that enjoy being closer to the famous Alpine region of Australia.

Within Victoria, there are numerous snow mountains that are popular among Australians.

Mt Buller, Falls Creek, Mt Hotham, Mt Baw Baw, Mt Stirling etc provide winter holiday experience that many tourists cherish. For skiers and snow boarders, these Alps provide packages to suit all levels. For the less adventurous, these places provide a comfortable place to relax and soak the holiday atmosphere. The joy of having a cup of coffee at a café by the window overlooking the mountains full of skiers should not be underestimated.

Like Victoria, New South Wales alpine resorts are also very popular among tourists. They include Thredbo, Perisher Range, Mount Selwyn, Charlotte Pass, Kosciusko Mountain Retreat, Ski Rider etc. The snowy mountains drive in New South Wales provides scenic views that are sure to impress anyone.
