This is superb for enjoying outdoor activities such as walking along the Hutt River Trail, visiting local parks, or taking day trips to the nearby beaches. It's also a great time to experience local events and markets.For those who prefer slightly cooler weather and fewer crowds, the shoulder seasons of autumn (March to May) and spring (September to November) are also excellent choices.
