I've noticed a number of Australians on this board; so it might just happen that some of them will notice this and offer some useful pointers.
I know the continent very well, and I'd like to spend some time touring there on two wheels. It's to large to do it all in one go, so my provisional plan is to fly to a place on one coast, buy a used bike, cross the continent, have the bike stored for six months, then return for another month or two touring back to the origin point and sell the bike.
My scheme is probably only 'borderline practical' because in today's world most jurisdictions make it very hard - if not impossible - for a foreigner to have a motor vehicle insured and registered.
Please note that suggestions on itinerary are premature at this point. (But yes, Nullarbor will not be missed).
Comments, suggestions?
