What To Do When (Autumn)

Autumn in Australia is defined by its kaleidoscope of colour in the southern countryside as vines and summer crops give up their fruit and harvest is complete. In the north, the lush rainforest and floodplains and vast Kimberley wilderness emerge from the wet season, rivers and waterfalls full of water and wildlife. In the centre, long summer days start to give way to cooler evenings under desert skies.
