During the months of June to August, Perth enjoys a mild winter so there’s no need to stay indoors. We recommend getting out and soaking up nature and the great outdoors that Perth is renowned for. Have your photo with some cute Aussie wildlife at Caversham Wildlife Park, spot wild dolphins and sea lions of the Shoalwater Marine Park, or explore an underwater world at AQWA Aquarium of Western Australia.
For the foodie and wine lovers, indulge in Western Australia’s wine regions of the Swan Valley and Margaret River and take in the green countryside, or check out Perth’s cosy small bar scene.
Maybe you prefer to chase the winter sun and head north of Perth, where the outback meets the ocean and you can immerse yourself in the amazing landscapes of the Coral Coast and North West regions. Including the world famous Pinnacles, Kalbarri and the otherworldly Pink Lake and the epic Broome and the Kimberley.
Check out our favourite winter experiences below and start planning your next break.
