Car Class Recommendations

Never underestimate Western Australia's vastness. To accommodate distance, terrain and local weather, an SUV is highly recommended for your Exmouth adventure. Not only does it provide room and comfort, it's also designed to handle longer road trips and off-road conditions.

Parking and Fuel

Parking in Exmouth is generally easy and free of charge. However, remember to park in the direction of traffic flow. Fuel stations are not as common as in the UK, especially in the outback. It's a good rule of thumb to fill up when you have the chance!

Speed Limits and Traffic Rules

Australian speed limits vary and are indicated on signs. In Western Australia, the standard maximum speed limit is 110km/h on open roads and 50km/h in residential areas. Also, it's important to note that the police regularly patrol and use speed cameras, both fixed and mobile. Always obey the speed limits!

Local Climate and Perfect Timing

The climate in Exmouth is warm and arid. It's perfect for outdoor pursuits. The peak travel months are from June to September when the temperatures are mild and the chances for swimming with the whale sharks are high.

Currency Matters

Australia uses the Australian Dollar (AUD). It's advisable to have a mix of cash and cards. You'll find ATMs in Exmouth, but for more remote areas, always carry some cash.
