Both....
Sorry haven't been to Queensland so that's my preference.....but travelled the up North route a few years back....if you do the short journey up to Newman & see Karajini National Park.....its nearly as good as the full north thingy.....then you can take off over to the mystical place that I'm dreaming of going to.....
Most used item...camera....
take laptop to down load photo's....each day...
take few specially packed items....
present for wife....
just to tell her you really love her in the middle of no-where....
bring out the card....silk scarf
or nice picture frame with grandkids photo in it....
remember to be romantic....
perhaps a bottle of wine....
& toast to all your woodworking friends who can't leave the sawdust for what ever reasons....
a couple of spare note pads to jot down, dates, peoples names & places folk tell you about on the way...
lots of business cards....
if your phone is not a Telsta..mobile might pay you to get a cheap pre-paid for a few months of travelling.....
enjoy....the trip....regards Kerry...alias KEKEMO
Don't think you're playing it safe by walking in the middle of the road.....that's the surest way to get hit by traffic coming from both ways!
I'm passionate about woodwork.......making Sawdust again & loving it!

Ta Kerry
Nice to see it from a female perspective...
I will employ those tactics on ALL of our trips from now on...
Even when we go to the shops..
See where it gets me...
Thanks

If we DO the kimberleys next year it'll probaly be a western approach from NT as we've never done the watsit highway tween Darwin and Fitzroy... probaly twould be nice to go central over the gibber highway and take in the meteorite hole etc - even nicer up from the Alice through the sacred lands...
If we DO FNQ then it's a few days haul up to Mt Isa... and many more days up to Cairns and Townsville and we're still not technically FNQ...
It will have to be one or the other...
but - which one...
either way it's gonna be a bit rushed...

then say Normanton, Georgetown, Undara volcanic caves, Atherton Cairns, Daintree, Cooktown, The Cape
and back home down the coast to Rocky, then inland via Biloela, Chinchilla, Goondiwindi, then follow the Darling back home
would take you about 10 days to get to the Gulf, a week to get back from Cairns leaving about 3 weeks in FNQ
