To see what regional Western Australia can offer, choose a town to access key details and photos.
Western Australia is known for its warm sunny climate, stunning sunsets, gorgeous
blue skies, beaches of fine white sand and many thrilling opportunities to explore
untouched natural areas. It is a land of stunning diversity where the deep reds
of interior rock formations contrast with the sparkling blue of the Indian and
Southern Oceans and the thriving greenery of the southern regions. Western Australia
has one of the most diverse climates in Australia – from the tropical
north to the temperate south. There are also two distinct seasonal variations.
In the southern half of the State four seasons are observed – summer (December-February),
autumn (March-May), winter (June-August) and spring (September-November), while
in the north there are just two - the 'wet’ (October-March) and
the 'dry’ (April-September).
