Gear up for a New Zealand or Australian winter holiday
Take advantage of the cooler months with GoSee's Winter sale
New Zealand and Australia have a lot in common, but when it comes to the weather things get a bit more complicated. Sure, the south is colder and the north is warmer, but in Australia the temperatures are a lot more extreme. What might be a bit chilly to a Queensland local will feel positively tropical to a Victorian native. In New Zealand you can basically separate destinations into those that get snow and those that don't. Suffice it to say, there are a lot of options for how you can spend your winter in this part of the world. And right now with GoSee, you can get great deals on a winter holiday that allows you to explore these beautiful countries the way that suits you best.
Hit the slopes for ski season
Whether you're heading to Thredbo in Australia or Coronet Peak in New Zealand, there's no shortage of ski holidays available. But if you’ve never skied or snowboarded before you might be surprised at exactly how much gear is involved. Aside from yourselves and your layers of thermals and sweatshirts there’s an array of jackets, backpacks, boots, skis and boards of varying awkward shapes to fit it to your vehicle before heading up the hill. A bigger vehicle will definitely make the tetris-style packing a lot easier and many will come with racks to make it even simpler.

Explore the winterless north
If the cold weather isn't really your thing, there are plenty of other options during the winter months. Australia's far north, for example, experiences milder days and cooler nights, but nothing close to what most people would associate with winter. As a bonus, the top end of Northern Australia has it's dry season between May and October, so you shouldn't experience the kind of torrential rainfall that usually comes with the tropics.
Even in New Zealand's Northland region you're going to find yourself with a few less layers than if you're spending winter in Dunedin. It's a great time to explore the unique outdoors in Northland, which include amazing walking trails, sliding down massive sand dunes, seeing NZ's largest living Kauri Tree and lots more.
