Winter Blog & Travel
The cooler months are upon us, but that doesn’t mean we stop road tripping. In fact, cooler days, crisp skies, and the open road make for the ultimate adventure.
Whether you’re rugged up for a misty mountain escape down south or catching winter sun in your boardies up north, we’ve loved seeing how you’re refreshing your space on the road. Here is how to make the most of the season with your favourite travel companion. Winter Wonders: Where to Roam.
Winter in Australia and New Zealand is a magical time filled with stunning landscapes and cosy getaways. If you’re looking for travel inspiration to make the most of the season, we’ve got you covered:
- Snowy Mountains, NSW: Experience a winter wonderland with skiing, snowboarding, and breathtaking alpine scenery.
- Tasmania: The rugged beauty of the island takes on an enchanted quality in winter. With crisp air and quiet festivals, it’s a must-do road trip.
- Great Ocean Road, VIC: Enjoy this iconic route with fewer crowds, empty beaches, and stunning coastal vistas.
- New Zealand’s South Island: From glacier hiking in Franz Josef to soaking in geothermal hot springs, the landscapes are unbeatable.
- The Tropics (Cairns/Whitsundays): If you prefer chasing the sun, the winter months are perfect for diving, hiking, and enjoying the great outdoors without the summer heat.
Make Your Drive a Whole Lot Cosier
No matter the weather outside, you’re bringing the perfect vibes inside. As you head into the mountains or coastal roads, your car sanctuary needs to match the mood.
We recommend bringing the warmth inside with rich, earthy, and comforting aromas that are perfect for the winter season:
- Tobacco Vanilla: A rich, sophisticated, woody blend for a warm car sanctuary.
- Dream Thyme: The ultimate fresh and earthy scent for those crisp winter mornings.
- Native Trees: The scent of the Australian wilderness, bottled for every adventure.
