Australia Travel

Cairns can be visited at any time of the year although it's best to avoid the hotter and/or wetter months between October and March. Generally, it is hotter late in the year and not as hot, but much wetter, around January to March. The best time for those not accustomed to heat is the southern winter, approx. May to September with July being the optimum month. It can rain in Cairns at any time of the year, as showers come in off the ocean in the prevailing SE trade winds, however, in winter they are usually light.

Travel in the cooler and drier part of the year also allows a traveller to see much more of the countryside as some roads, especially north of Cairns, are unsealed and impassable after heavy rain.

The Bungle Bungle range, in the Purnululu National Park in far northwest Western Australia, was - remarkably - only really "discovered" in the mid 1980s.

The Aborigines knew about the range for thousands of years beforehand, but very few men had actually ventured into the area.

Roughly 1 - 4 days.

I like to dance.

No

Yes. The first Australian railway line was built in Victoria, and finished in 1854.

Its very safe as long as you don't keep your car doors unlocked...just have to use your common sense...but no it isn't overly dangerous
