This was my first tour after retiring in 2003.  I carried on for two months and covered 2250 miles, which shouldn't sound like a lot of miles in Australia.  I only saw the southeastern corner of the country but was told more than once that I've seen more of Australia than most Australians.
 
Although I didn't take on the large deserts, I saw enough between Goolgowi and Balranald to know I shouldn't be out there solo. 
 
I want to go back and ride from Darwin to Adelaide so if you see that route in your future drop me a line.
