DESTINATIONS horizon


With travel to Australia off the cards for now, look to book next year with David Whitley’s round-up of summer stunners Down Under


f travelweekly.co.uk


or many British travellers, the prime time to visit Australia is during the British winter – after all, the idea is to escape to the sun, and that’s


when key destinations such as Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Tasmania are at their warmest. But with no guarantee of Australia’s borders opening any time soon, travellers might be looking to defer their high-value trip and rebooking for spring or summer 2021. Luckily, Australia is a continent, and not


everywhere Down Under follows the same weather patterns. Indeed, some Aussie destinations are best visited between May and October. Most of these are in the tropics – where the seasons are wet and dry, rather than hot and cold, and it’s far more pleasant in the dry – but the same applies to the outback; you want to be going there when it’s cooler. So if clients are planning to travel during next


year’s summer holidays, or want to get the best of what tends to be regarded as Australia’s off-season, these are the places to nudge them towards.


BROOME


Backed by deep red dunes, Broome has to be one of the world’s weirdest resort towns. Its prime attraction is the 14-mile Cable Beach, which fishermen drive along in 4x4s and camel tour operators plod across at sunset. There’s a strong Asian influence, the pearling industry heritage (best explored at the Pearl Luggers museum) is riveting, and the huge tides expose both dinosaur footprints and Second World War flying boat wrecks. Broome is also the gateway to the rugged Kimberley region, where spectacular rock formations, photogenic gorges, activity-packed outback stations and strange horizontal waterfalls can be strung


together in an adventurous touring route. Book it: APT offers a nine-day Essence of the Kimberley round-trip from Broome, from £3,345 land-only in May or August 2021, and £2,995 in September, including accommodation, meals, driver-guide and activities. aptouring.co.uk
