As with most parts of Australia, not all areas of Western Australia are good to visit at that same time. The Ningaloo Reef is wonderful from April to September and it is possible to swim with whale sharks and humpback during a number of these months. From October to March, this area is hot but there are sea breezes and the waters are glorious.
The Margaret River region to the south of Perth is perfect from October to March. Outside of this period it can be wet and cold.
The far north from Broome to The Kimberley has a more extreme climate and most properties close from October to March when the monsoon rains arrive and the weather is very humid. These areas are perfect from June to September.
