my husband and I intend to travel around Australia from August and are not sure which direction to take off from Adelaide first. Any advice would be greatly appreciated
leaving in August means you have about two months to get to the Top end and very little time up there before you would get out of there before the 'wet'
so are you going to take your time and spend it in the southern regions of SA, WA or VIC or NSW before you head northward from either of those states about the following March.
The possibilities are endless really and totally dependent on the expected duration of your journey and places you have already seen or would like to see. I would expect you have some idea of the places you want to include in your itinerary?
If it were me, I would head to Port Augusta, stop overnight, toss a coin in the morning to determine which way - north, west or east - or even south to Eyre Peninsula.
Cheers - travel safely, enjoy the journey rather than just the destination, take time to smell the roses - John

Head diagonally (NE) up through NSW and get to Qld, then travel Savannah Way to Katherine. Katherine to Broome, then come down the west coast and travel back to SA with a tail wind. You can branch off any where you desire depending on how much time you have.

If you head South you will see one of the most pristine states in Aus, watch out for the Devils!!!
