Sth Coast WA in Sept ?

Hi Mal,
As my forum name suggests I live in Albany so I might be able to help you with your question. I guess it all depends on what your definition of wet/cold is. September is still in our winter here and during this time of the year we get weather systems coming through every few days. These can hang around for a day or a week. But in between the systems we get a few days or cold mornings followed by warm usually windless days. If you are in the area in between the weather systems you will enjoy your camping but if a front goes through and you’re in a tent then it will be miserable. The weather here doesn’t stop us from going camping at least once a month. Some weekends are magic and sometimes we wished we stayed at home. The added bonus of being on the south coast during the winter is the whales.

We travelled in September and the weather was cool but not uncomfortable. I think it rained once. Some "must see" things to do:

1 - Head of the Bight whale watching

2 - Eyre Bird Observatory is worth the drive out to the beach

3 - The track from Exmouth to Coral Bay that runs behind the dunes.

4 - Coral Bay - a great spot

5 - Karijini - highlight of our 2 month trip

Enjoy

Hi Mal,

Unless you like cold weather then stick to the north

Every time I've been to Albany outside summer it's blowing a gale, while Esperance outside summer has always been raining.

There are some really nice places to visit along the coast down there, but it's just the wrong time of the year to visit.

Cheers, Will.

Hello - check out the weather stats available on ExplorOz to give you an idea what you are in for e.g. Here is Esperance

Hi Mal. Coming from Newcastle the cold and rain should not worry you. To me both have there attractions, Lots to see north&south. Do both then come back and
spend more time in which area you like. Brian

Hi Mal.
Most answers are covered, I tour S/W corner of WA regularly, mainly in the SUMMER, North of EXMOUTH is WINTER Territory, ALBANY area is SUMMER Territory, that's if you wish to get out there and enjoy the Outdoors. I suppose it depends on who is there to keep you warm. Good luck whatever you choose.
