Question
I have 29 days, in July, to go from Perth to Darwing to Adelaida with a campervan. Could you recommend me the best places to vist. I am interested in Wildlife and National Parks. Do you think that it is worthwhile to go south of Perth with so little time?. Thanks for everything

Answer
I would absolutely recommend that you spend as much time as you can south of Perth.  If you go to "virtualtourist" I have numerous tips and photos of that area.  Just click on "members", type in "iandsmith" and go to my Western Australian site.
I would then get up to the Kimberleys and the Bungle Bungles as soon as possible where the next best stuff is and then you'll want to see some of the gorges in the Northern Territory, Uluru and Kata Juta plus a couple of days in the Barossa Valley.
That's a rough guide, but for more details, at the risk of repeating myself, go to my virtualtourist site.
and, don't forget, have a great trip!
P.S. You can see my Spanish site there also (I love the Picos de Europa)
