Activities
There is a boundless choice of outdoor adventures at Lilianfels, from bush walking, abseiling and bike riding to canyoning, swimming, golf and tennis. You can even go 'Harley Cruising', seeing the wonders of the region from the back of a gleaming Harley Davidson, your driver/guide showing you the sights.
When to travel
In the southern half of Australia the seasons are the opposite of those in the northern hemisphere: spring comes in September, summer is from December to February, autumn runs from March to May, and winter begins in June.
New South Wales is great to visit year round but if you want warm sun and dry weather it is best to try between November and April. Their winter months of May to October usually have mild weather so you can still enjoy all the sights.
