Take a Winter Break and Enjoy the Summer Sun

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.

Australia is the perfect region for a vacation any time of the year. They have moderate year round temperatures, making it just about perfect beach weather all year round. Perhaps even better than that their summer is our winter and vise versa, which makes it even more pleasing to go there during the winter months and hit the beaches.

Who needs to go to a tanning booth in the winter, just to go outside bundled in layers of clothes and put on your jacket? You pay all that money and no one can even tell under all the clothing layers. Now you can just escape to the Gold Coast, Australia, and get a natural tan, form the sun, while enjoying your shorts and tank tops, bathing suits and laying on your beach blanket in the sand. You can spend the days in the water; surfer, snorkeling, water skiing and more. When the night rolls around you can hit the entertainment scene at the local clubs, bars and restaurants. Surfers Paradise has some of the best night time excitement that you will ever witness, as well as the best daytime surfing, anywhere.

Australia is more then just beaches, and fun in the sun, though. There is also the Outback, the rainforests, rural areas and of course gorgeous cities to see. You can lay in bed listening to the sound of the ocean, or head to theme parks that are fun for the whole family. There are so many things to see and do in Australia, that after your first visit you will absolutely want to keep coming back.

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. - 31515
