Best Places to visit Australia in June
I would like to give the
travelers detailed information to read in my article today regarding the
destination in Australia. Which can make you to go to Australia to visit
Australia.
1. Exmouth/Ningaloo, WA
verge Temperatures during June: 24.2 degrees C (75.5 degrees F) – 15.6
degrees C (60.0 degrees F)
Ideal for: Unique wildlife encounters and enjoying
water and land adventures
Turquoise Bay; Vlamingh Head Lighthouse; enjoy
seafood at Exmouth; go Whale Watching; Jurabi Turtle Centre
While the east coast
of northern QLD is an obvious choice for those looking for an aquatic escape
during the winter, WA’s coastline is not to be forgotten.
Home to the west
coast closest equivalent to the Great Barrier Reef, the Exmouth region features
its own spin on the spectacular coral reef environment, Ningaloo Marine Park.
Far
more isolated and untouched than its eastern sibling, Ningaloo Reef is ideal
for swimming and snorkeling and is famous for its resident Whale
Sharks.
This portion of
Western Australia’s Coral Coast extends from Exmouth along a roughly
150-kilometre stretch. This part of Australia is draped in unspoilt beaches,
vibrant blue waters and seemingly eternally sunny skies.
As a result, aquatic
adventures are the main drawcard for visitors travelling to the region.
Visitors
flock to the region from thousands of miles away to swim alongside the world’s
largest fish, whale sharks. These impressively large and docile animals can
grow up to a massive 18 metres long and swim at a pace of 3-5km/h.
The
whale sharks swim just off the coast of the reef and are easily accessible for
tour groups.
Water
temperatures are fairly cold during this time, typically hovering anywhere
between 18 degrees C and 24 degrees C, making wearing a wetsuit all the more
necessary. Those sticking to the reef will find conditions far warmer than out
with the whale sharks.
The
rest of the marine park is as expansive as it is diverse. Stretching out 300km
along the coastline the reef is home to a variety of marine life including
turtles, dolphins and dugongs.
Additionally,
the annual whale-watching season typically kicks off around June in the Exmouth
region. Local operators conduct daily tours out on the water to get up close to
humpback and southern right whales as they migrate up and down the west coast.
The
beauty of this region isn’t reserved for the ocean, as Cape Range National Park
holds the fort on land. Famed for its wildlife, including emus, echidnas and
kangaroos, the national park blends a limestone-rich landscape of canyons,
caves and gorges.
Sections
of the park can also be driven, so you won’t have to keep your hiking shoes on
for the whole time.
Exmouth’s
climate and conditions during June make it idyllic and highly favourable,
however, this also results in it being peak season.
While
staying in Exmouth provides a greater choice of accommodation options as well
as other attractions, you’ll have to ensure booking well in advance.
If
you’re after an environment that’s completely different from the Great Barrier
Reef in terms of both landscape and commercialisation then Exmouth ticks all
the boxes.
It’s
one of the most distinctive and contrasting environments in Australia and while
its isolated location requires more effort to reach it, the numerous positives
make the adventure well worth the effort.
2. 1770, QLD
Average
Temperatures during June: 21.9
degrees C (50 degrees F) – 14.5 degrees C (58.1 degrees F)
Ideal for: Enjoying a sunny beach environment away from the
crowds
1770
has long served as a viable alternative to many of the larger and more
developed Queensland coastal destinations. This small seaside region is popular
for travelers who want all the benefits of a beach-and-reef environment without
the large crowds and price tags.
Surrounded
by marine estuaries and national parks, it’s a destination wholly oriented
around enjoying its natural offerings. There is very little to speak in terms
of man-made attractions and this adds to 1770’s charm.
Located
between Bundaberg and Gladstone, and just over 6 hours from Brisbane, 1770 has
a comfortable temperature that is a welcomed relief from the cold felt
down south.
Water activities are
popular in the region and despite its size; there are numerous opportunities to
enjoy the beach and ocean. The town is also in close proximity to the Southern
Great Barrier Reef, with several of the reef’s premier islands within
reasonable reach.
Chief
among these is the lovely Lady
Musgrave Island, which sits around 59 kilometres off the coast of 1770. The
island has remained relatively underdeveloped and as a result, the island’s
flora and fauna continue to flourish.
Host to the Great
Barrier Reef’s largest lagoon, Lady Musgrave Island is an amazing snorkelling
and diving destination for beginners with the highest visibility levels on the
reef.
While its marine
life is diverse and plentiful, it’s the lagoon that helps set Lady Musgrave
apart from its counterparts. The lagoon offers a great combination of both size
and safety alongside impressive coral cover with a good mixture of both hard
and soft types.
You can get to Lady
Musgrave Island from 1770 on board the Spirit of 1770 vessel and, if you have a
permit, you can even spend the night camping on the island
Average Temperatures during March: 15.4
degrees C (59.7 degrees F) – 9.3 degrees C (48.7 degrees F)
Ideal for: Experiencing one of South Australia’s
most amazing destinations without the crowds or inflated prices
Top things to do: Seal Bay
Conservation Park; visit Vivonne Bay; explore Flinder’s Chase National Park;
Cape Willoughby Lighthouse; Raptor Domain Kangaroo Island; Kelly Hill Caves;
visit Dudley Wines; cruise with Kangaroo Island Marine Adventures
Another travel
destination that can shine any time of the year, Kangaroo Island is well worth
a visit during June as well.
This wildlife-rich
travel hotspot sits around 112km to the south-west of SA’s capital, Adelaide,
and is renowned for its intermingling of wildlife and stunning scenery.
Kangaroo
Island, or KI as it’s known, is a diverse island covered by stretches of rugged
coastline, towering cliffs, distinctive rock formations and gorgeous white
sandy beaches. As the 3rd-largest island in the country, there’s an enormous
amount of things to see here.
Travelling
to Kangaroo Island in June brings along a number of substantial benefits that
help to offset the cooler and sometimes blustery conditions. It all starts with money; Kangaroo Island is typically not a
cheap destination to visit when factoring in both the prices of transport to
and from the island and on-island accommodation. However, June’s status as an off-peak
month means that the dent in your wallet for both won’t hit quite as hard.
This is
especially relevant as seeing all the core highlights of the island simply
can’t be done in a single day given its sheer size. As a result, you’ll want to
stay at least one night on the island granting you two days to explore all it
has to offer.
Kangaroo
Island is an amazing haven for wildlife with June the time when newborn
kangaroos, koalas and wallabies emerge from their mother’s pouches. The
extensive natural attractions including Flinders Chase National Park, Seal Bay
Conservation Park and other inland areas are also major drawcards for visitors.
Temperatures
during winter typically hover around a minimum of 8 degrees C (46 degrees F)
and a maximum of 15 degrees C (59 degrees F), so make sure you pack some warm
clothing.
Those
who want to indulge more than their eyes can enjoy the delicious food and wine
culture on the island. Visitors can sample wine at Cape Willoughby, enjoy
deliciously fresh oysters at Penneshaw, and delight their taste buds with
incredible cheeses at MacGillivray.
There
are few destinations in Australia that can boast the mixture of escapism,
impressive landscapes, friendly and down-to-earth people and culinary culture
quite like Kangaroo Island. Don’t dismiss this wonderful destination in June
just because it’s the winter season as you’ll not only save yourself a
substantial amount of money but also have the luxury of sharing it with smaller
crowds.
