Hi everyone,
I have hunted around on the site and not been able to find much about travelling to the Kimberly and NT in feb or summer? I understand that it's not the ideal time but we are limited as to when we can go. If anyone has any info it would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

I guess it depends on what you plan on doing. As mentioned, many of the main attractions off the main road will be closed due to impassable conditions. Additionally, if you are planning on being in a tent then it could be quite uncomfortable. That said, there are very few tourists and you will have the attractions that are open largely to yourself.
Perhaps if you are willing to provide more detail on your trip and how you plan to do it I could be more specific.

It is about of peak of wet season. When we been in
Kakadu I have talked to rangers questioning what is the best time to be there (we been in July). They said July is fine, but immediately after wet (May) is also interesting despite many roads still closed. And before? Waste of time was the answer - almost everything closed. Though you may stay in
Darwin (
Broome in your case) and have terrific scene flights on chopper. If this is what you want to do then why not?

Hi Sherron,
I have family in
Darwin and have spent many a Christmas there. As others have said it can be very hot and humid.
You can't swim in the sea Box Jelly fish seem to like the wet. You don't have to worry about
sharks the crocs have eaten them.
On the upside
Darwin in the wet worth the experience at least once. You can often do accommodation deals at this time of the year.
Select a Caravan Park with a shady
pool and do the tourist bit in the early and late part of the day. Be sure to have a Sunday night at
the wharf, get there early.
Cheers
