en fait on imagine faire un trip 4x4 adelaide-alice voire continuer sur Darwin si on nous dit que c'est faisable malgre la pluie.
Hmm, I wouldn't recommend it at all between November - beginning of April because of the very high humidity, but worst, the Monsoon/wet season where entire towns can and do flood within hours and you can be cut off from civilisation.
A lot of tours to the NT outback stop at this time of year for this reason, as even the buses can get stuck and stranded, sometimes for days.
My aunt has done the Melb - Adelaide - Alice - Darwin route as a coach hostess for Australia Pacific Touring for 30 years, and their last NT tour generally ends in early December and they don't do another one until just after the end of the wet season - so April at least.
She told me a lot of stories about when they used to travel north at the edge of the wet season, but still sometimes got caught and had to spend 1-2 nights in the middle of nowhere, with all the passengers camped inside the 50 seater bus
I've seen pictures of flowing red mud, rivers which have burst their banks in a big way, flooded everything, and the bus in the middle.
I've a friend who visited Northern Territory in November and said it was getting more humid and unbearable each day he was there during 1 week, the clouds getting ready for the wet season.
I've heard it often said it can easily rain 100 mm there in a day, even in a couple of hours (the entire monthly average rainfall in winter for southern Victoria).
I don't know anywhere else I could recommend for Xmas (I thought the Kangaroo Island suggestion a good one - much further north and it will be too intensely hot to be outside).
How about the east coast of Tasmania?
C'est absolument tres pitoresque avec l'eau vert/blue, les plages de sable blanc....
