Worthwhile Outback Destinations?

[walrus]

Well, this years proposed Outback destination, Lawn Hill Gorge National Park, is out of action till at least July due to flooding, where else would you recommend for a ten day outback loop in April/May?  Arkaroola, Tibooburra, Innamincka and the Dig tree are always on the list. Underwing camping is possible but a bed is better. Controlled airspace is off limits, in addition, Alice Springs has been likened to a war zone. Are William Creek and Birdsville worth a visit? Charleville/longreach, etc have no great appeal except to sleep. Is the East Coast one long streak of bad weather and controlled airspace?  WA is too far from Victoria.

 

Last years ramble took me 3000+ nm and as far North as Cloncurry before I chickened out in the face of bad weather and unreliable information.
