Yep, all about timing, prime
Yep, all about timing, prime time can coincide with shit conditions one year but fine the next. If you need to travel long distances that require planning you may er on the side of caution as its a long way to travel. Water levels drop quickly and conditions get better pretty quickly also but alot of the tracks soke that water up and can be a bloody nightmare, especially for the 2nd vehicle if you have torn the track up.
Saying that though, some of the best fishing trips and multiple metery's caught were in Darwin during the wet that featured multiple boggings, snatches, buried cars and trailers, torn off mudguards, overheated cars, geeez, some of the fondest memories I have lol
