Come and see the amazing Aurora Australis in the South Island of New Zealand. Here is a link where you can view dates and places. Enjoy your stay!! 5 Best Places to See the Southern Lights in New Zealand
If that's not you thing, consider visiting the Annual Field Days, held 14th - 17th June 2023. Fieldays is the Southern Hemisphere's largest agricultural event and the ultimate launch platform for cutting edge. Aside from agricultural products, there are a variety of other interesting stalls. PS: Don't forget to bring your gumboots!
Happy holidays!!

If you are a world music lover then I would recommend WOMADelaide. Held in March each year it’s a cornucopia of music from all around the world. It’s held in Botanic Park a beautiful treed green space on the boundary of Adelaide CBD.

If world music isn’t for you then perhaps The Fringe would be more your style. It runs for a month from mid February to mid March

Perhaps the Adelaide Festival is your ‘thing’. It is a yearly event and this year it’s being held from 3rd to 19th March.

We also have beautiful beaches and top class winery areas….the main ones are, Clare Valley, Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, Eden Valley, Coonawarra and the Adelaide Hills.
I think those few suggestions would keep you very busy. Jen.
WOMADelaide
Discover the iconic, award-winning 4 day festival of discovery that is WOMADelaide. Celebrating the very best of the World Of Music, Arts & Dance.

Adelaide Fringe - 17 February - 19 March 2023
We are Adelaide Fringe, the Biggest Arts Festival in Australia! We were born 60 years ago (although we don't look a day over 25) and for 31 magical days and nights each year we completely take over the beautiful city of Adelaide, South Australia.

Sydney will give you so many world class choices depending on your preferences. The recently revamped Opera House is a must for the music/opera lover, Taronga Park Zoo has a harbourside setting and views to die for, the bridge walk will give you a bird's eye view of the city if you have the stomach for heights, whilst our beaches are legendary. The recently redeveloped Barangaroo harbourside precinct explores our history as well as providing a plethora of cosmopolitan eateries. I am sure other Sydneysiders will add many more suggestions.

That would have to be my tidy house, but you’d have to be certain to arrive or I wouldn’t bother finding the duster! 🤣

It's been many years so my memory is fuzzy but am i correct that you can take the trip atop Mount Royal Park by horse and buggy? I'm sure hubby and i did that back in 1974.

Sadly, no longer. Our unloved mayor banned the horse-drawn vehicles a few years ago. Some things she’s done are good, but that was a really dumb move, in my opinion.

Well i agree with you..dumb move. I was born in Toronto, lived here all my 76 years and love my city but when hubby and i needed some time to ourselves we would drive to Montreal and walk the streets of Old Montreal, enjoy the foods and always took buggy rides around the old town. What a shame to take that experience away for all to enjoy!! The view from Mount Royal is beautiful for sure but even better by horse and buggy!!

What to see in my "town"? Hope you are into hiking as it would be going to the top of Slide Mountain where on a clear day you can see 3 different states.
