Hi Aaron,
When you say WA or SA that covers a lot of area....!! You're travelling smack in the middle of summer, so personally I'd stay south...why not try heading up through the
Grampians on the way to say The
Flinders Ranges then head across the Nullabor to the bottom end of WA. Plenty to see and do in 3 months if you are intent on a big trip, and save the
top end for a shorter trip ( I'm assuming you are travelling in your uni holidays) when it cools down a bit.
However if the heat and humidity don't bother you, and you don't mind water crossings, the
top end of NT is pretty spectacular during the wet, you just have to leave a lot to lady luck on road closures etc. You could probably still get to
Kakadu as its all tar and bridges these days and take plenty of joy flights to see what you miss out on the ground. I did it in a Febuary in about '96 and fair dinkum, it was awesome...but not really an offroad adventure..
Stick to the south, and follow all the dirt roads you can find instead of highways, and you'll see a lot of pretty amazing stuff..
Enjoy
