They're either too cold or too hot.
Would've gone with Royal National Park (Sydney) if it were a choice. But from these, I will go with Yulara. But Maree and Mount Boyce aren't that far off. Still, they're all far from ideal.

Hamilton Island is the best.

Was looking at all the contrasts the Continent has to offer...... they are all very different sites/locations. and strangely enough, RNP is the only one I haven't been to ! |

I'll take Blue Mountains Park, but it's not great. There are some good Aussie climates but it appears that people like to put national parks in bad climate zones. This is true of the US and Canada too.

Mount Boyce easily.
Cradle mountain seems like the prettiest park though.

Daintree for the win. Excellent climate. Kakadu is pretty good too but a bit too warm in the build up season. Great Barrier Reef is decent too.

This is a tough one. Do I pick Karijini's perfect temps, or the epic storms in Kakadu?
Nah seriously, these cartels are holding a gun to my head and I have to make a decision....

Karijini has some absolute ball tearer storms during the wet season ( ie summer months ), then again multiply by 3 times as many over Kakadu. Truely epic ! |

Karijini has some absolute ball tearer storms during the wet season ( ie summer months ), then again multiply by 3 times as many over Kakadu. Truely epic ! So I visited there one time just before Xmas, which is the absolutely hottest time of the year in the Pilbara. I'd been working in nearby Iron Ore mines so was fully acclimatised to the heat. And because of the heat and season, the Park headquarters are closed, so you pay via an honesty box and can ptretty well set up camp wherever you like. So I find myself a deserted campsite with just the tiniest bit of shade, set myself up and go off bushwalking/exploring etc. Temp in low to mid 40c's, but the waters of Fortesque Falls and Dales Gorge were surprisingly cold. So late afternoon, I'm putting a dent in a slab of Carlton Dry, and fuck me, in this deserted campsite, a campervan of the 'European Backpacker Type' pulls up and sets up right besides me, and commences to set up their camp ! FFS ! Now I bear a passing resemblance to any one of a number of Aussie serial killers.... don't these dumb Europeans know how dangerous is to be near mid 50's loner types in the remotest part of the Outback ? OK, I admit to not having my stock standard anti social barriers in place ( ie hunting rifle on display and loud ACDC blaring from the 4WD's speakers ) to keep other campers at a distance, so my fault I suppose.... Anyways, the chick backpacker ( a statuesque blond type with a Belgian French accent ) wanders over and asks me directions to Dales Gorge, the Falls and Circular Pool. So I do the right thing and pretend I'm Mr Genial Hospitible Aussie and give directions, all the while thinking, "can youse please fuck off...." So she walks the 10m back to their campervan, completely strips off stark bollocky naked, rummages around in a bag, finds this g - banger string bikini thing, puts it on, and her and her bloke walk off for a swim..... So then I'm like, "ok, youse are welcome at my campsite...." |

Kakadu for me, despite a fearsome-looking build-up season. Daintree and Great Barrier are better temp-wise but worse for storms.
