Hi everyone, I am after your opinions and advise.
When we do our trip to Cape York in a couple of months we have a total of 6 weeks on the road. Now the original plan is to travel Melbourne to Cairns in the first week allow 1 - 2 days in Cairns to get the finalized before going to the Cape for a total of 2 weeks, and then we have 3 weeks before we get back to Melbourne.
Now here is my dilemma. On the return trip we were planning to travel down the coast and visit various places along the way. It was bought up in conversation over the weekend that maybe as an alternative to the original plan we actually travel inland towards the Northern Territory (maybe Tennants Creek), down to Alice Springs, Uluru and tour surrounding areas and down to Coober Pedy, possibly Lake Eyre and onto Melbourne.
Now I know this is about an extra 2000 KLM which don't really bother me, but is 3 weeks long enough to have a half decent look or is it to rushed for this sort of trip straight of the back of the Cape.
If it is do-able, I ask the question of what are the must see's along the way give the amount of time we have to do it in?
Please help me decide......
