Western Australia
Expect Dirt, flies, snakes, sharks and worst of all, Aussies!
The prime months are May to July if you're heading up to the desert points; March to September for the rest of WA, which basically gets tons of swell the whole time. Take your full quiver.
The waves in WA have a lot of grunt.
For dinner you'll be having whatever you caught spear-fishing that day.
Stay in your tent. (And remember to shake your boots out before putting them on in the morning.)
Make sure you continually remind the Aussies about the thrashing our rugby team gave the Wallabies in Sydney.
Don't miss going swimming with the dolphins at Monkey Mia, north of Kalbarri. If it's flat… nah, don't worry, it won't be.
