Travel Tips
When to Go
Western Australia boasts a temperate climate with four distinct seasons. The Broome and Kimberley region, however, have two seasons. The dry season (April to September) offers sunny days and cool nights, while the green season (October to March) brings heat, humidity, and occasional heavy rains. Note that some attractions may be inaccessible during the green season due to road closures and flooding.
Indigenous Heritage
Respect the land and its indigenous heritage. Learn about the local cultures and take guided tours to gain a deeper understanding of the region.
Wildlife Awareness
Be mindful of the diverse wildlife. Keep a safe distance, particularly when encountering marine animals.
