In Canada the weather is pleasant and the fall foliage is simply breath-taking. It’s a great time to visit America, as high season has passed but beaches and lakes still have hot, sunny weather. September brings spring to Australia and New Zealand, a season of regrowth and flowers. There are many events and festivals going on – so many it’ll be hard to choose which to go to!

Tip: Visit Canberra’s flower festival ‘Floriade’, showcasing over a million flowers in their prime with plenty of activities taking place in the evening.
