Kicking around the idea of a Broome to Cairns trip - what would it be like from August to early October? Been to Cairns in October, hoping to get in before the stinger season starts - but what's the trip from Broome like in Aug or Sept?

August will be good, September will be OK not too hot. October can be getting a bit warm, though not this year yet :-)

It looks like I will be doing the reverse trip in July. Have fun.

the temps usually go above 35deg last week of sept and just range upwards from there until either a cyclone dumps rain or easter arrives. currently low 40s throughout the inland kimberley and rain in places. best to depart the kimberley for cooler sthn areas after the shinju in broome. having said that for all the years i lived in broome the best time of the lot is oct-nov when the temp goes up and the humidity is still ok and the tourists are gone - heaven. rgds

Slow down and relax......

I would recommend you do the trip in April - May just after the wet. Everything is still green and the scenery is great. There is still water about.

June - July every man and his dog is about and finding a camping spot can be a problem.

Aug - Sept is getting towards the end of the dry. Meaning everything is dry and the scenery is at its worst.
