Hi,

North Queensland is prime in August- just drive North on east coast and visit Mackay, Alva Beach
(www.intheloopkiteboarding.com/locations/alva-beach), Cungulla, Port Douglas, Cooktown...

Best time to come to Australia is September to Feb and definitely the West Coast. Its much less populated and you will get to see the real Australia.

Hello Marve!,
Thanks a lot for your quick answer. We're completly lose about kite in Australia. Alva beach looks very nice! because of the flat water. We are having a look into your web and possibly we will be in touch with you early.

Thanks again!

The West Coast kite scene is extremely crowded..... unless you do drive hours n hours away from the capital city Perth or anywhere near it. And at that, most locations won't be that appropriate for a beginner. Gnaraloo's about 14 hours drive north from Perth. Google map it and press satelite so as you know what you and your partner '& baby' are in for. I think 3milecamp's trying to help you out with a campsite. Just know what you're in for and do your research.

I'd go to QLD.

Upto you.

Hello ashton,
Thanks for your comments. You're right, with a litle baby are very important the distances.
