During spring, you'll experience comfortable temperatures ranging from 15°C to 25°C. This is an ideal time for outdoor activities, such as exploring the local vineyards and enjoying walks along the Campaspe River. The countryside is particularly picturesque with blooming wildflowers. Couples often find this season great for a romantic getaway, with opportunities for al fresco dining and scenic drives.

Autumn offers similarly agreeable weather, with temperatures typically between 12°C and 22°C.

Families seeking a relaxed holiday appreciate the cooler temperatures for exploring without the intensity of summer heat.

While summer (December to February) can be quite hot, often exceeding 30°C, it's a good time for those who enjoy water activities on the Campaspe River or nearby Waranga Basin.
