Darwin and Top End in march?
Posted: Wed Dec 03, 2008 10:00 pm
So, after many years I have finally finished my studies in physics. To celebrate with my girlfriend (who has also graduated last month) we are planning a big trip down under.
One part of our itinerary consists of (obligatory) Uluru, flying in to Alice Springs, rent a car and then afterwards working our way up towards Darwin. However, this part of our trip is going to be in march, which is the raining season. I hear temperatures and humidity can be terrible then. On the plus side however, the landscape is lush and green up there. So perhaps some of the aussies or otherwise experienced people can give me some advice; will it be worth going up there this time of year, and what to visit? Or should we rather go someplace else?
(We're already visiting NZ, Sydney, and Melbourne and surroundings)
Thanks!
