Walking Seasons in Australia

Because Australia has range of climates  that vary significantly in temperature, the Great Walks operate across different parts of the country at different times the year.

For walks in the southern part of Australia (see specific months below) the best times are from Spring through Summer into Autumn, whereas for those on the mainland, the best times tend to be from Autumn through to Spring.

As our walking seasons can be short, demand for peak times can mean some walks are booked out well in advance. Get in early if you can, to have the most chance of securing the walk you want to do on the dates you want.
