Yes, that bloody Delta strain of Covid in NSW certainly has potential to put the mockers on your plans.
It's not looking too flash at present. The whole country is on alert.

I had my 2nd AstraZeneca jab yesterday. Although it's thought to have less efficacy against Delta.
 
There is a bit of a time constraint as well, it wouldn't be much fun heading north in the heat of summer, plus it's the Monsoon rainy season. It's called going Troppo for a good reason.
 
I wish I could get the Pfizer for my 2nd after AZ for the first - apparently very effective.

When are you supposed to be heading off, Marty? Numbers are certainly heading in the wrong direction.
 
If you didnt get blood clots then your fine, BTW it doesn't last forever. Who knows, with new info there always updating the vaxes into the future.
 
Went for a brekky run, Adelaide River via Wangi falls, 260k's
heading down to my favourite NT road. The south section of Kakadu highway near Pine Creek. Elevation changes as well as corners. A reccy run a must. Roos are nothing there. Dodging water buffalo the hazard. next week, will report condition :D.
Pop out near Emerald Springs, no servo there anymore but dongas and pub. Highway not bad riding there. south to Kakadu Highway. Up that for my favourite bit about 80? 90? ks and back, lunch at Pine creek, back up the Kakadu Hwy, overnighter at Cooinda and reverse back to Darwin the following day

If you are time pressed, I far prefer Litchfield AKA mini Kakadu for bang for buck/mileage. It's a long way around Kakadu to Arnhem Highway to get to Darwin. July the Kakadu waterfalls are lame, accomodation expensive and tourists everywhere. Litchfield falls are still good in the dry season and theres more to see in shorter distances.

Litchfield Park Road is all bitumen now. so you can enter from the Batchelor side and come out on Cox Peninsular Road into Darwin past Berry Springs or the reverse run if you are heading south.

Best time for Kakadu is in the wet and chopper ride to see the waterfalls.

If you can do both, go for it. If you've not been to Kakadu and really want to, that's a different matter.
