Brisbane to Darwin to GRR

Even 6 months wouldnt be enough to see all thats worth seeing.

Hi Chris,
6 weeks in the NT will only scratch the surface.

You could do it, but you will be rushing around and not see anything. Best to make that another trip and allow at least 6 to 8 weeks to do it.

I have done Bris to Darwin, and Darwin GRR. Stop at Winton and Longreach encountered to Darwin. Allow a week. GRR can be done in 2-3 weeks seeing most of the main points of interest. Allow a week to get home. I travel during school holidays as I work full time and understand time pressures. Some long days on the road but you will see heaps on the way, just be prepared to drive past things and stick them on your "next time" list.

Like the others have said, you could do it, but you will just be scratching the surface of what there is to see. It depends on how rushed you want to be, and you will be rushed to fit in the GRR. We spent 4 weeks on the Gibb and still felt rushed. Others do it in a few days. The best part of the Gibb are all of the places off the road and that is what takes up the time to be able to experience and enjoy. Are you also thinking about doing Litchfield and Kakadu on the way? If it fits in with your trip there is a great free camp at Camooweal, 188 kilometres past Mt Isa. As you leave Camooweal turn left after the bridge, the camp is beside a nice billabong. If the first section is busy just continue along the track and there is a 2nd area. Have a great trip. Kevin

Just stick to having a look at some of the NT and enjoy the trip. Once you head West of Katherine you need to add many more weeks to see stuff. rgds
