Which way to travel

Hi Ado

Living in FNQ you know all about the seasons in the north. So with cyclone and hot summers in mind, go to the places you most want to see and base your plans on those. Four months won;t get you very far if you stop to see places thoroughly, as well as giving your children time out of their car seats.

Wow, I'm impressed. And yr hoping to book into accommodation where? U realize almost every place in the top end of Oz will be booked out and u may end up having to pay top dollar everywhere u go. If u can find a spot that is...

Unless yr free camping and even then you'll need to be there by 12m to find a decent spot.

Don't worry about old mates answer above, if you can call it that.

If you are in FNQ. I would head west as most times you will get a tail wind at this time of year + temps and weather should be much better. It will be crowded at the major tourist spots but this can be overcome by booking ahead. Places like The rock, Alice, Darwin, Broome and the like.

With the 4 months you have you won't have to worry about cyclones either way you go.

Take your time and enjoy what you find and don't just sail past places without a bit of research. I couldn't believe it when I asked someone at Kynuna if they had been to the Combo waterhole and they had just sailed past it and had no idea what it even was.

Parts of Queensland alone will take you 4 months to have a look at.

Have a great trip.

You could find some good ideas for making your decision by looking at trip planning topics in Articles on the blue ribbon above. Also check the school holiday dates for all states in the front of a current diary or online and work around them as best you can.

As others have said, try to resist doing too much because you are definitely not going to see it all. You will need to really get the feel of a place if you are making major decisions about resettling.

Some say just head off into the wide blue yonder. I don't agree - you need to have some kind of plan in mind but you don't have to be rigid.

Have a wonderful time and enjoy your little ones while you can. They grow up fast.
