When to Visit Brisbane

You can visit tropical Brisbane all your round though temperatures are pleasantly cool and rainfall is low during the winter from June to August. This is also a great time to go whale-watching at Moreton Bay as the whales migrate up and down the coast for breeding from June to November each year.

Brisbane’s hottest months are from November to March, with high temperatures and humidity. Pack plenty of shorts and short sleeved shirts, sunscreen and a wide brimmed hat! Queensland has the highest rate of skin cancer in the world and it is too easy to get sunburnt, even during winter!
