Now that your sweaters and other winter wares are put away for next winter. It’s time to enjoy the missed sunshine and the upcoming school holidays. And what better way to spend this much awaited free time from school than with a family vacation? Choose from a selection of spring destinations and drive there with your family.

In fact, why not go the extra mile and make it a once in a lifetime vacation? Here are a few places you can go:

Perth

Perth is warm in the summer. But in spring, it is a comfortable 23 degrees, perfect for you and your kids. Some of the things you can see here include Kings Park, Bell Tower, and the Art Gallery of Western Australia where you and your kids can catch a glimpse of art and learn a bit more about culture.

Canberra

You will know Canberra best as the country’s capital, but it is also filled with plenty of places to go to as a family. Spring is the perfect time to visit the city as September to October is when the annual Floriade festival takes place. See the beautiful flowers and enjoy each others’ company.

Melbourne

Dubbed “the most liveable city”, Melbourne is a great place to visit any time of the year. Every year, the Spring Racing Carnival takes off, which leads to the Melbourne Cup later this year.

Take your kids to see the horse races and experience the carnival for themselves. Who knows, you might spark an interest in them that involves horses and carnivals.

Sydney

Sydney is easily a no-brainer when it comes to going on trips. Here, you can see the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the Opera House, and Taronga Zoo to name a few. During the spring, the city experiences little to no rain, making it more ideal for visiting families to enjoy the weather and so much more.

If you’re from the Gold Coast, you can book a flight to any of these destinations at the Gold Coast Airport. Make the most out of your children’s school holidays with a fun-filled vacation with the entire family.

While you’re making plans to go to one of these spring destinations, don’t forget to book an airport parking spot near the Gold Coast airport to ensure your car is in safe hands while you enjoy yourself.
