climate/weather

The climate on Flinders Island is temperate.

The Flinders Island self-guided walking holidays are available year-round. However, October through to May is a more popular time to walk.  Our local guides who live on the Island swear that June and July are also good times to walk. The weather is often clean and crisp at this time. There no one around almost all of the year as the island is still off the radar. Please see our What To Bring section in FAQ’s for more information.

For more information please see the Bureau of Meteorology’s information concerning average temperatures and rainfall levels throughout the year.
