The bride and I intend doing a half-way trip around
the block between mid-April and mid-June (ex
Perth). I felt the
Kimberley first, to get the end of the wet, and then
Darwin and down. She feels
Flinders Ranges first, as it should be very green by end April and not as cold as June.
I would appreciate other's thoughts.

We did 10 weeks May to August last year up across and down. Weather going up was fantastic but we had a head wind most of the way. When we hit Kununnura at the end of June we were hearing that it was minus 7 overnight in Alice. When you're tenting it, that sort of info you don't want to hear but glad you did.
Remember it's nice and warm in the North but gets bloody cold as you head back South. Also if you're going to do the GRR it was very chilly overnight also.
Book ahead for Karatha,
Broome and Kununnura, also possibly
Katherine. Other areas you should be ok.
