The best time to visit Western Australia depends on the region.

The northern regions, including Broome and the Kimberley, are best visited during the dry season (May to October) when the weather is cooler and more comfortable for outdoor activities. The wet season (November to April) in the north can bring heavy rains and cyclones, making travel more challenging.
