Melaleuca, located in Tasmania's remote southwest, is best visited during the warmer and drier months, typically from November to April.This period offers the most favourable conditions for accessing the region, primarily by light plane or boat. The weather is generally more stable, with longer daylight hours, making outdoor activities like hiking and wildlife spotting more enjoyable. Temperatures during these months are usually mild, ranging from 15°C to 25°C, which is comfortable for exploring the rugged wilderness.For those planning to experience the full grandeur of the Southwest National Park, including boat trips along the remote coastline or extended bushwalks, the peak of summer (December to February) is ideal. The increased sunshine and reduced chances of heavy rainfall mean clearer skies for scenic flights and calmer waters for boat excursions, offering uninterrupted views of the dramatic landscapes.Travellers interested in birdwatching, especially for the critically endangered Orange-bellied Parrot, will find November to March particularly rewarding. This is when the parrots are present in Melaleuca before migrating north for the winter.
