Attending to drive on any of these inland roads, even the well graded main road, at night is madness. You will put yourself at grave risk and also risk the lives of others who have to attempt your rescue. It is simply irresponsible.

Otherwise, stay on the coast!

Great advice Brucel! Thanks
Reached from Kuala Lumpur last night, and arrived in Cairns this morning.
I drove from Cairns, all the way to Port Douglas this afternoon, and was greeted with high winds and occasional rain.
My mind was almost set to go inland, but your advice is very logical.
I'll take my chances in the coastal area, maybe at Ellis Beach.
