We lobbed in Cairns / Cooktown around mid May this year (out of Adelaide) - very warm up there then - even warmer over in the Normanton area (35C a lot of the time - unseasonally high said the locals). Might pay to time it for June/July up at the top of your run.... research on the Bureau of Met sites can give you a picture of weather averages for any region. It was wet most days from Mackay up to Cooktown in May too - dryer later on. Out of Melbourne, you will probably be hit like us with the very warm and sticky tropical wetlands - great to experience, but the insects need to be dealt with in an organised manner. Have a good un.

Christmas to easter is the wet and the wet means humidity. The roads are not flood free either.

Time your run till after easter and you will have better luck at fine weather and less humidity.

Trust you can choose your timing!!!!
