Weather Seasons in the Outback

Discover the best weather seasons in the outback. Australia may very much seem like a repeated track of Sun, blistering heat and more sun. Although for the most part this is true, the seasons actually create amazing changes to the landscape and the wildlife. We asked the team at Mulgas Adventures, what are the seasonal best bits when exploring the Outback? Here is what they said!

Summer in the Outback

“In the summer months you should pack your swimwear, there are pools available to swim at our camp sites to make the most of. It is important to bring a big water container; we suggest 3 litres, sunscreen and some hydrolyte tablets (electrolyte drinks are great to).
The summer is great for thunderstorm activity; it is truly astonishing to see. The clouds in the outback are incredible when building up and developing. Summer can bring the rain which means the possibility to see waterfalls on your Uluru Tours! We do not typically have a wet and dry season in central Australia; however, rain is more common over the summer, dry waterholes spring to life with at least 9 types of central Australian Fish. These waterfalls seem to occur from nothing, it is amazing to witness.”

Spring in the Outback 

“Spring is when the reptiles usually start to come out in search of a mate. Warmer mornings and evenings mean they will become more active during the day. Be sure to wear hiking boots which will not only help you across rocky terrains but also protect you from snakes!”

Winter in the Outback 

“Winter months provide clear skies and so the Milky Way shines bright, this is great for the keen photographers. The ability to have a fire keeps you warm at night, which is especially nice for toasting marshmallows.
In winter our express tour visits waterfalls and thermal pools which is a perfect alternative to summer months. In the centre of Australia it can get quite cool at night, pack warm clothes for the evening, the days are usually a mild 20-30 degrees; perfect for exploring!”
Australia is so diverse in every possible way and each season has something unique to offer, which is why so many return from their Mulgas Adventures Tours blissed out by the completely unexpected! No matter which season you find yourself in the red centre Outback Tours always have something incredible to offer!
