Melbourne in September

Melbourne in September is the beginning of the spring season, bringing in milder temps ranging from 7°c to 17°c. This weather is perfect for some outdoor activities and an excellent time to adventure with a tour of the Grampians, one of Victoria’s most stunning natural attractions.

With wildflowers beginning to bloom and the landscape coming alive, the Grampians give you a stunning backdrop for wildlife spotting, hiking and soaking in everything around you.

A Springtime Adventure

Located around three hours to the northwest of Melbourne, the Grampians National Park is a perfect environment for nature lovers and adventurers alike. The parks are bustling with the stunning colours of spring and the vivid wildflowers are blooming into a landscape that’s truly a sight to behold.

The best way to experience this spellbinding wonder of nature is on a Grampians tour. The mild weather is perfect for exploring the park’s extensive network of walking trails, which range from easy strolls to challenging hikes and you’ll be mesmerised by blossoming orchids and the smell of wattle as you spot unique wildlife and birdlife along the way.

For a spectacular scenic adventure, try the Pinnacle Walk, which offers breathtaking views over the Halls Gap and Grampians rugged landscape. The Sweeping views of the surrounding mountains and valleys are well worth the challenge of the hiking trails. If you’re looking for a less strenuous adventure, the Venus Baths Loop is a gentle yet beautiful walk through the stunning rock formations and tranquil pools.

The Grampians isn’t just a stunning National Park – it also has significant cultural importance to the region’s First Nations people. The park is home to some of the country’s most significant Aboriginal rock art and cultural heritage locations in southeastern Australia.

Sites such as Bunjil’s Shelter give you a unique insight into the amazing culture of the Aboriginal people who have lived and thrived in the area for thousands of years. Guided tours offer a deeper understanding of the stories and significance behind these ancient artworks.

A Perfect Spring Getaway

If you want more natural wonders during September in Melbourne, you can attend the Tesselaar Tulip Festival, the Bendigo Annual Tulips Display or the Cherry Hill Blossom Festival. This month also has the AFL Grand Final and so much more. Check out our Things To Do in Melbourne page too.
