Hi there! Good question. It depends a bit on where you want to go in Australia. We arrived in Melbourne in November and it was still cold (we had to go to Kmart and buy warmer clothes). By the time we reached Cairns in December it was super hot, too hot even for us after living in Dubai 😂. Keep in mind that the peak season is during summer holidays (December-February) and rental prices will be higher during this time. To save money you can look at going in November or March. We drove from Melbourne to Cairns in 4 weeks and it felt rushed, it would have been better to do it in 5 weeks. We also didn’t book campsites in advance and we couldn’t visit some places that we wanted to go to because popular campsites during weekends and peak season get booked up early so try to plan that ahead of time. Let us know if you have any other questions :)
Hey guys! What time of year would you recommend this trip!? We like the heat ;)
Also anything you regret or would change for your trip?
