September Holiday in Australia

Spring arrives gradually in September, first as a scattering of wildflowers across Western Australia's outback and then as blossom through the vineyards and gardens of the south. Canberra's Floriade festival opens its gates to a million blooms, while Brisbane fills its parks and riverbanks with music and light for its annual Festival. In the tropical north, the build up begins, humidity thickening ahead of the wet season to come.

September Highlights:

  • Western Australia's wildflower season reaches its peak, with paths through Kings Park in Perth and the Coalseam Conservation Park carpeted in colour.

  • Floriade opens in Canberra, filling Commonwealth Park with more than a million spring blooms through to mid October.

  • The Brisbane Festival brings outdoor performances and a fireworks display over the river through the second half of the month.

  • Warmer, drier weather across the Red Centre and Top End makes early September a good window before the northern heat builds.
