Hi. I am wanting to travel from North West NSW, Lightening Ridge, up to Mt Isa, Townsville and return to NSW via Central Qld, with no fixed route or itinerary.
What is generally considered to be the best time to do this trip, when considering the weather and road conditions.
I am allowing / budgetting about 12 weeks for the trip. Is this really long enough?? KB

we were in Central QLD Aug, Sept and Oct and the weather was perfect - warm sunny days and cooler nights left Glenmorgan mid Nov and was starting to warm up. 3 months is probably long enough.

Right nows the time to be on the road heading North....We are heading off on June 02....The day after we return from NZ....Going inland and then up this year.
We were up in the Airlie beach area June of last year....The weather & temps were perfect every day....although we did try & get off the road around lunch time before it got to hot to travel.....And all the good parks were taken....(We never book incase we decide to stay longer in a spot we are enjoying)
Cheers

We did central and north west Qld in June and July, including Normantont and Karumba and found it was really great, I would guess most of the winter months, late autumn and early spring would be ok.
