Just did the trip from Melb. to Perth! ..........
TIP: AVOID THE JUMP STEAK, AND FLIGHTLESS BIG BIRDS!! THEY SEEM TO GET IN THE WAY AT 200KM/H !!!!!!!
The one I organized had 7 bikes and people on it. All big-bores, so everyone was sweet about get there confidently,...and on time!!
The trip was 10 days (coastal roads the whole way there), 5,301.1km to Perth, averaging 15.6km/L, 6.4L/100km. Fuel cost was $365.80 and accomodation costs $137.20, plus .....speeding fines, tyres, etc......
AWESOME FUN, can tell you more if you want, and where not to stop for petrol. (and take a jerry can - cause after one of us reached 300km/h 9 times, fuel gets a bit low between stops!!)
Cheers, Peter
