Autumn (March - May) in Canberra is a delightful time of year as the trees in the city's parks and gardens turn red, gold and orange. Temperatures drop to averages of between 7-20°C. The days are mild with cool nights. If you visit in April, you can pay your respects to those men and women who served Australia in war at the dawn ceremony at the Australian War Memorial on Anzac Day. Autumn is also harvest time in the vineyards. Visit the Canberra District Wineries to see the vineyards at their best. Get a taste at the Canberra District Wine Harvest Festival in April. The Australian Running Festival and Canberra Marathon are also held in April.
