Hi!
I´m a guy frome Sweden who´s planing to go to Australia, buying a sailingboat and have the time of my life! I´m planing to start i QLD in dec-jan and just island hopping during 3-4 months. I would like it if you could give me some advices around my idea and how it is sailing in Australia!

I'm not a Queenslander so could well be wrong but... isn't Dec-Jan the start of cyclone season? Not a good time to be island hopping in that area if so.

Yes it is the cyclone season (ie the time of year when cyclones MAY happen) but you do not have to worry about cyclones until there is one around.

We only had one this year in Queensland. There were a few off the West Australian coast. There are plenty of places to dodge a cyclone on the coast of Qld.

The best time to go sailing on the Queensland coast is when you are there but the winter months between April and September inclusive are when the SE Trade winds are prevalent and reliable.
