I plan to leave
Swansea NSW early May and get to the Northern Territory via
Roper Bar end of May/early June with the intention of travelling through
Kakadu, to
Darwin,
Litchfield and Douglas/Daly over the next 3 to 4 weeks, i.e. most of June
Many, if not most, of the tracks to waterfalls, gorges etc are now closed, but are they likely to be open for the above timing ?
I realise that the answer is likely to be, "it depends", but if it really is highly unlikely then I may need to rethink my whole plan.
I would appreciate any
well considered guesses, especially from the locals. I have a troopy and we tent
camp.

NP Officers are already assessing various roads in
Kakadu and LNP. Some are already open. Most, if not all, are usually open by then (June). I would be surprised if they weren't. The rain has eased off in most of the NT already, although some parts of Arnhemland have had a bigger wet than usual. Your best bet is to keep an eye on the NT Gov web site for road updates. They are usually pretty good and keeping it up to date.
I take it that you are coming through QLD to
Roper Bar, but which way? Are you coming across the Barkly and then up to
Cape Crawford (
Heartbreak Hotel) and
Roper Bar?
