When to Visit
Our superb tropical climate ensures that
every
month is a good month to visit
.
The
Dry Season
from April to December
is enhanced by fresh tropical breezes.
Daily sunshine averages around 7 hours and
average temperature is 27 degrees C.
The
Wet Season
is usually from January
to March and this brings renewed life in
spectacular fashion to both rainforest and
outback savannah. The Wet is a great time
to see the waterfalls in full flow and enjoy
incredible fishing conditions.
Most roads north of Laura will
close in the
Wet season
and permits available from Dept
of Transport and Main Roads are required for
local travel over this period.
