Am I pushing my luck?
Flying to Darwin & arriving at 10.45am,
departing Darwin to Kununurra at 11.20am,
should I make the connecting flight?
Or am I cutting things too fine.
Will have checked bags.

Way too fine even if you are on the one PNR.

I wouldn’t risk it but Darwin is not too bad if you are on one PNR and have luggage checked through.
Pretty much step off one plane and go to the next gate and get on another
The same PNR does mean that the airline is responsible for you should you miss connection and they have to get you on the next flight or put you up in a hotel.
I doubt it is on one PNR though as it would error out on MCT (although airline IT is known to throw in some curveballs)
If on seperate PNR’s By time the flight lands and if you have to collect luggage your check in would have closed and you are up for the cost of new flight, accommodation etc.
I wouldn’t risk it TBH
