Welcome to the forum sandyr. We've only been to Kakadu by bus trip so I will have to let others give you advice. But what we saw we loved.

The road from Halls Gap to Derby is fine - main highway. Fuel is a bit dearer but every place has fuel. There may only be a roadhouse but they have everything usually. I tend to fill up often 'just in case'. Katherine is cheaper and Tom Price - a lovely CP there also. Stayed at Tarunda CP at Fitzroy Crossing (quite safe!) and did the Geike Gorge trip - amazing.
