NT is the equivalent of the Arizona desert. There’s a few places near or on the coast worth seeing but you normally wouldn’t go camping in the middle somewhere. You’d have to get the exact month or two, otherwise it will be too hot or alternatively the wet season.
The east coast “J curve” would be the most popular from say Melbourne up to Cairns, there’s a lot of places to visit, be it beautiful coastline or inland destinations. If you go too far inland, it can get hot and bumpy depending on the time of year.
You could start in Adelaide and head to Maree/William creek and then back over to the east costs perhaps, but it really depends what you want to see and do. A round trip would obviously be best to be able to return the aircraft, otherwise they would have to get a ferry pilot to bring it back again.
How much time will you have?
