With the April long weekend approaching, it’s a great time to think about how to kick-start your long weekend and School Holidays, whether you’re celebrating Easter or participating in other exciting events!

A long weekend is always a fantastic reason to organise social gatherings, squeeze in some outdoor activity, relax with your friends or family, or take time for yourself.

We’ve put together a selection of brilliant activities to keep you entertained and active this long weekend, each involving a few of these aspects so that you can make the most of your time off.

If you’re not able to get out and about this Easter due to COVID restrictions, we have some fun options so you can still enjoy yourself over the Easter holidays.

Head out for an Aussie Adventure these Holidays 

There’s so much to explore in our very own backyard that is Australia! From natural wonders, stunning white sand beaches, the red dirt outback, rugged mountains or the vibrant rainforests, there’s always a reason to hit the road and start a new adventure.

Let’s continue to support the local Australian tourism and use our Autumn adventures to visit iconic destinations in our own backyard. This season, visit Coonamble, located in central northern New South Wales, and home to the biggest rodeo and campdraft competition in Australia. It is situated close to three natural wonders, the Warrumbungle National Park, the Macquarie Marshes and the Pilliga Forest, so there is endless adventure to be had exploring.
