Just out of interest: will the main (sealed) roads between Darwin and Sydney normally remain passable all the time during the rainy season?
Last February we had had enough of the rains already in Indonesia (sometimes felt like we needed oars to get the bike moving!)... so decided to go to Perth instead of Darwin, and then went from there to Sydney. Climate-wise a very different route, I guess. I wished we´d had a bit more time, because then we would´ve probably been able to explore the north in less wet weather.
I talked to some Aussie in Indonesia, and he said some rivers near Boulia (possibly ones that run to Lake Eyre?) regularly flood at that time, and cut the roads.. but does this mean even the main highways regularly get closed during the rains? Or only the smaller roads & tracks are regularly affected by them?
