Hi folks,
Me myself and me ranger have a spare 9 weeks departing from Perth as soon as the kids go back to school in July.
Key theme of the trip is the top-end so from Broome, Kimberleys, NT, Arnhem Land, Gulf country and maybe even cape York time permitting. Perquisites to catch up with family in cairns and Brisbane for 2-3 days each. Everything else is fair game, the lesser traveled way the better.
For the most part each night will be a new camp but happy to hang around should there be stuff to see.
Would like some advice with people in the know for the below?
Looking to maybe passing through the snowy areas on the way through more as a scoping trip for next travels. Any recommendations for snowy areas to see or camp at? Would there be much snow in the early weeks of September or just slush? Are many tracks through the high country vic/nsw open during snow season?
Undecided which direction to go, see the top-end late july/aug, catch the snow early sept or go the other way which means passing through the snow late July/Aug and getting to the top end later in the season?
