Hi Adrian,
Esperance can still be quite cold during November and you will need warm clothes especially at night.
It is also very windy at that time of the year most of the way up to Gnaraloo.
The hottest time of the year at Perth is around February when temperatures vary from 20 detrees at night, up to 40 degrees during the day.
As you go further North it gets hotter.
However if you remain along the coast and inland, you can usually count on a cooling seabreeze after midday.
From January onwards and Perth and further North, you will not need many warm clothes, day or night.
Only a light weight sleeping bag would be needed.
This is usually the norm. but there is always the odd exception

Hope this helps
Have a good time
Cheers

Hi Adrian

We did a 10 month trip through Oz recently. If I did it again - I would start the
trip with a bare minimum of clothing. Compared to Norway, Aussie prices are
very reasonable and you can easily stock up along the way for clothes & camping
gear as you need it. So just bring a fleece & water/windproof, shorts, long trousers and a few T shirts. There's nothing worse that carting round too much gear in the back of the car that you never use!

Have a great time!

Rob

Adrian,
concider starting your trip in the north and driving south, as the monsoon season up north starts around November and is verrrry humid, is ok for the locals however a Norwegian student might find it unbearable as many Aussies won't even go there. The weather conditions would have you in nice Aussie summer weather most of the time.
You will need thongs, shorts and "T" shirts up north and if you go north to south you will need the similar clothes in Esperance during the day, however warmer clothes at night, as stated above get them here.
Enjoy your trip.......
