A good festival is half the fun of travelling in Australia

Pack your bags for the adventure of a lifetime when you head Down Under this April. Indulge in the allure of autumn in Australia and gear up for a range of activities – from coastal walks and bike trails to road trips and iconic laneways – Australia invites you to begin your journey of self-exploration.

Ann Lim, Country Manager Singapore of Tourism Australia, said, “Autumn in Australia offers a unique experience with sweeping landscapes and is one of the best times for travellers who are seeking some relaxation, restoration, and exploration. Whether it’s indulging in some wining and dining with a spectacular view or taking it slow exploring a farmer’s market. There is no better place than Australia for your next adventure.”
