The best time to visit Spencer is during the shoulder seasons of autumn (March to May) and spring (September to November), as these months offer pleasant weather and fewer crowds.During autumn, the weather is generally mild and agreeable, with warm days and cooler evenings, great for exploring the natural beauty of the Hawkesbury River region. The lush greenery from the summer rains is still present, and the river is often calm, making it ideal for boating and fishing. You'll find the walking trails more comfortable for leisurely strolls.Spring also brings wonderfully mild temperatures and less humidity than summer. The local flora begins to bloom, adding colour to the landscape, and wildlife is often more active. This is a lovely time for outdoor activities like kayaking or enjoying a picnic by the river without the peak season rush.
