Warm year-round with very pleasant temperatures of around 27 to 31 degrees Celsius in autumn, Tropical North Queensland invites you to swap cold city breezes for balmy beach days, sun-dappled rainforest walks and boat cruises around the jewel-like islands of the Great Barrier Reef. The autumn months align nicely with Easter, an ideal time for a long weekend away within having to take too much annual leave, or a school holiday getaway with the family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.

Australia\u2019s tropical fruit capital is also the purveyor of sunrise-toned mangoes, zingy pineapples, papayas, melons and of course, coconuts, all at their sweetest, juiciest and plumpest in the post-rain months of autumn. The region is one of the country\u2019s most celebrated food bowls for good reason; its tropical climate and fertile farmland, particularly along the Cassowary Coast and Atherton Tablelands, are optimal for growing.
