Sounds like a hectic trip and I'd pick one and stay there and get some relaxation time in.

Travelling around Australia is tiring due to its size and with a go go go itinerary, all the more so.

Whitsundays less prone to cyclone weather as well (marginally) at that time of the year.

You will miss out on Daintree and it is spectacular but at 95% humidity and 30-35C, it's not particularly pleasant.
