Hello everyone,
Doing a bit of early planning for a trip next year.
The first part of the trip is getting from Melb to Cape. Below is our route plan for the 'first half'. While it's almost finalised I would appreciate any input.
Here's the part I'm having issues with - the "second half"
After leaving cape we are planning on staying 2 days at
Normanton. Maybe a sunset trip to
karumba.
Then we are heading off to
Darwin via
Savannah Way.
Here is what we have planned so far

I've read through quite a few posts on here regarding
Borroloola to
Normanton. I've also read few articles/
blogs about going to Adel’s Grove.
So, now I'm unsure of which way to go.
Do I take
Savannah Way all the way to
Darwin or go to Adel’s Grove, come up back to
Doomadgee and then head to
Darwin.
Here are the other things I need some help with, as this is the first big trip we are doing and no idea of travel times apart from what I'm reading on 'guides' and Google Maps
1. What's the best route to take from
Normanton to
Darwin. We are pretty ok with
bush camping, so not fussed about where we sleep
2. Travel times, even a ballpark figure
3. The dates I mentioned above, we came up with google maps, 99% sure we are going to need more time to explore things along the way
We are taking our diesel Prado. plenty of food/water & 2 spears. Not towing anything
Thank you in advance.
