The most expensive time to travel in Australia
If you want a relatively cheap holiday in Australia, timing is a key consideration. Some times of the year – notably Easter and Christmas – are more expensive due to public holidays.
At other times, weather can be a major factor. Resort towns in northern Australia such as Broome, Mission Beach and Airlie Beach get more expensive during the dry season between May and October, for example.
But the single biggest contributor to changes in prices for accommodation in Australia is the school holidays. When the schools break up, families travel, and the demand pushes prices up.
When are the school holidays in Australia?
The Australian school year is generally split into four, with three sets of two week breaks and a longer five to six week break over Christmas and January.
Knowing when these dates are can have a considerable impact on the cost of your Australian holiday.
2024 NSW school holidays dates
The school holidays dates vary slightly by state, but broadly follow the same pattern. You can take the 2024 NSW school holidays dates as an example.
According to the NSW Government website, the 2024 school holidays in New South Wales are on the following dates.
- Autumn holidays: 15 April to 26 April 2024.
- Winter holidays: 8 July to 19 July 2024.
- Spring holidays: 30 September to 11 October 2024.
- Summer holidays: 23 December 2024 to 30 January 2025
These are the dates for the Eastern division of New South Wales. The Western division goes back a week later in summer, but given that the vast majority of the NSW population lives in the Eastern division, this is the one that affects holiday prices.
