Promoters of Queensland have a saying and that is "Queensland, beautiful one day perfect the next". To a degree this is true, however try telling that to the family that just spent $3000 for their slice of perfect and only scored continuous rain and constant comments of "oh, you should have been here last week!"
Tropical North Queensland is blessed with beautiful warm weather, but sometimes it can be hotter (and/or wetter) than you feel comfortable with, and for some even mid-winter may not be as warm as expected. Here's a tip - the time of the year when all the accommodation houses, reef operators and tourism bodies take those beautiful promotional photos that sell Tropical North Queensland is September, October and November.

OK, the tropics are paradise, but there is a downside during summer - cyclones.
