Canberra’s Seasonal Charms

If you enjoy variety, you'll love our four distinct seasons.

Spring

With flowers in bloom, and the weather warming up, Spring is a great time to explore our natural beauty and enjoy one of our many seasonal events.

Summer

Our summers are warm and dry. Make the most of the longer days with a twilight picnic by the lake, or family day trip to the beach.

Autumn

As the season changes, the autumn leaves provide a kaleidoscope of colour and a photographer's dream. It's a beautiful time of year in Canberra.

Winter

A cool and crisp Winters' day gives you the perfect excuse to visit one of our world-class galleries and museums, or indulge in a hot chocolate by an open fire.
