Thanks for the replies Ole and Ferret. I have to do a bit of translation. The only 400 mile ride I've done since I took up riding again took me a good ten hours with the various stops and starts associated with a charity ride and getting there and back. I've occasionally done 500 miles/day solo in a car which is also in the region of 8-10 hours depending on stops. It's repeatable, but not all that much fun.
More importantly, perhaps, I agree that mountains are good, although the highest mountain in Australia is a mere 7310 feet, so we're not endowed with the spectacular piles of rock that grace North (and South) America.
