Phil,
Stephen did say he was leaving April/May and returning October.....so that would be around 5 months if I'm not mistaken....
Secondly, he also said that he only wanted to go as far north as
Daintree.....so in answer to your 3rd question: No, he won't be going through
Gunshot Creek.
As to the original question...I don't reckon it would make a heap of difference one way or the other. Either way you still have a lot of klicks to do, but also a reasonable amount of time in which to do them.
You may find (for example) that you go to the
Daintree first and whilst there get talking to others who are on their way south from
Cape York.....and then decide to do that extra trip seeing as how you're already in the neighbourhood (so to speak). The same could potentially happen if you go to WA first.
I've almost always changed my plans at some stage when I've done any long trips (and 6 weeks is the longest I've been able to do at one go, unfortunately). So it pays to be flexible and keep an open mind. After all, that's the beauty of camping, as opposed to staying in motels etc where you need to book ahead and are then tied to a fixed itinerary pretty much.
The main thing is: JUST GO!!! hahaha
