What to Expect This Autumn in SEQ
Living in such a beautiful place means that during the school holidays, things can get pretty busy. That’s why now is the time for families to get out and enjoy all that South East Queensland has to offer—before the crowds arrive and the rush takes over.
Autumn usually means milder temperatures and less humidity, making it absolutely magnificent for outdoor family adventures. The average temperature ranges from 15°C in the mornings to about 25°C during the day.
Evenings can cool off, so it’s a good idea to be prepared.
Here are a few things we’d recommend for quick weekend adventures together.
Clothing Tips for Autumn Nature Play
Whether you’re hiking through the hinterland, exploring a creek, or enjoying a scenic lookout, it's essential to be prepared for nature’s unpredictable moments:
Layer Up: Dress in layers to stay comfortable. Always start with a lightweight, sleeved shirt
Sturdy Shoes: Shoes that can handle uneven terrain and water crossings. The best shoes are always an old pair of sneakers!
Hats: We all know the importance of a hat—it's a must in a sunburnt country. Personally, I’m a fan of wide-brimmed or bucket hats.
Waterproof Gear: Consider packing lightweight rain gear or waterproof shoes if you're venturing to creeks or hiking near waterfalls.
Autumn Weekend Adventure Ideas for Families
Autumn is the ideal time to take in nature’s beauty, and there are many easy, fun, and educational activities for families.
Here are a few ideas:
Best Spots for Creek Play Autumn’s mild weather makes it the perfect time to let your kids enjoy some creek play. The cooler temperatures keep the water refreshing, but not too cold for splashing around!
Easy Access Lookouts for Watching Sunsets After a busy day, a visit to a lookout can provide a peaceful way to reset as a family. With minimal walking required, enjoy the stunning views over SEQ as the sun sets.
Best Camping Spots for Families If you're feeling adventurous, spend a weekend camping in nature. Autumn temperatures make it comfortable for families to enjoy an overnight stay without the heat of summer or the cold of winter.
Take a deep breath, slow down, and let nature provide the space to recharge and reconnect with your Wildlings.
Happy adventuring!
