Hi all,
I got a large number of responses - online and offline. I'd like to thank
everyone!
The take-home messages were
1. Darwin-Broome could be not only hot and humid but also problematic due to
muddy roads.
2. Adelaide-Alice will be very hot but still birdy if one sticks to the rules.
I.e. likely neither option isn't a great idea for my parents.
Thanks a lot for all your comments and suggestions (which I will discuss with
my parents),
Nikolas
P.S. Although I got the message about the conditions out there, I had to smile
a bit about the different sense for "hot".
For me (and possibly some other European and American expats) Sydney is COLD
for approximately 9 months of the year, MILD for 3 months (Dec- Feb) with a few
interspersed hot days (this past summer there was one week of hot weather and I
don't remember any hot days the summer before...).

Subject: RFI Adelaide to Alice OR Darwin to Broome after Christmas
Hi all,
I'd like to plan a two-week trip in late December/early January with my parents
who are visiting over Christmas to either
Adelaide to Alice/Ayres Rock to see the post-rain desert/outback
or
Darwin to Broome
Obviously, the post-rain situation is something that cannot be postponed,
that's why I would favour the post-rain desert trip. However, maybe the scenery
of the Darwin/Broome trip would be more interesting for my parents. I know that
in general December/January is not the greatest time of the year for either
trip. In your experience, would any of these trips make sense at this time of
the year? Would it be too hot to see many birds/mammals? Would it be miserable
at this time of the year for my parents (who are not the youngest anymore)?
Cheers,
Nikolas
