Located between Port Hedland and Broome, Eighty Mile Beach runs for 220 kilometres and is a mix of white sands, rocky shores and tidal creeks.
During July it's one of the warmest places to be with temperatures almost at 30 degrees.
While it's not advisable to swim at the beach due to the high tides, sea fossicking, fishing, camping on the beach and catching the sunsets are all top activities that can be had here.
If you're keen to experience nature in the wild then Hervey Bay in July has just the ticket.
Enjoy a tropical winter season here where the water temperature is warm enough for a dip and whale watching season picks up from mid-July.
For the adventure seekers, you can rent a 4WD and head over to Fraser Island for camping and dingo spotting.
Enjoy the cooler temperatures winter brings and take the whole day to explore the spiritual heart of Australia.
Winter is ideal for hiking so you can walk around Uluru and explore Kata Tjuta on the Valley of the Winds Walk. At times, ranger-guided walks can be booked to learn more about the history of the area and its rock art.
Perth is hands down one of the sunniest spots in Australia year-round, which makes July the perfect time to spend time outdoors without the heat that comes with a Western Australian summer.
Take in its parks, its beaches and its islands, such as Rottnest, home to the happiest animal in the world: the quokka.
Queenstown is a skier and snowboarder's dream. Three snow resorts surround the city, each receiving heavy praise from some of the best in the biz.
June to August is Queenstown's snow season, with July being one of the most coveted times to catch the freshest snow. Mind you, this means it is peak season so if you want to avoid the crowds, it may be better to hold off until August/September to hit the slopes.
Those who prefer to stay cool, but aren't looking for a snowy escape, should consider making their way to Tasmania in July.
Flights are often quite cheap, the walking tracks are quiet and the scenic roads are all yours to explore.
Over winter Hobart can be super cosy. Bundle up and head to its wineries and hiking trails for something special.
Winter in Canberra means two things: snow season and truffle season.
For an event that your senses can savour, spend the weekend in and around the Aussie capital hunting for truffles and indulging in truffle dusted meals.
The festival runs from June to August.
July tends to be a quieter period for travellers around Australia, however, it’s predicted to be busiest at the beginning of the month due to the winter school holidays and workers taking some time off post-end of financial year. If you intend to travel domestically, aim for days later in the month to avoid peak prices and crowds.
Internationally, July is peak season for many countries in the northern hemisphere as their big summer break falls in July and August. While it's an ideal time to partake in festivals, it's also an expensive time to visit. We suggest you aim to travel earlier in the month, before the holidaymakers settle in and prices begin to skyrocket.
