Passage plan for 45 foot cruising cat from Phuket to Darwin ?

Is anyone able to give me some clue as to a possible passage plan to sail a 45 foot performance cruising cat from Phuket to Darwin in March/ April 2022.
This cat can maintain a minimum of 6 knots in most conditions and in good conditions will exceed 240 nm per day.
Thanks in advance.

I've never done this passage myself, but it looks like winds should be favorable for either the inshore or offshore route. The inshore would be a few days faster.

Did part of that in late May 1994. From Phuket to Langkawi and Singapore then via Banka Strait and out via Sunda and then across the SE trades heading for Fremantle.
Picked up the trades just north of Sunda Strait.
Prior to that very little wind, lots of motoring and motor sailing. Plenty of rain prior to Singapore. Big 'Sumatra' event just south of Riouw Strait.
Hope this helps.
