Did the trip many years ago, lambswool seat cover was a must , accom cost--zero as slept on the side of the road or the back of petrol stations
7 days to get over there and 3 days to get back ( the aim was a border a day ) Perth to the SA border is 1700k's from memory and had no problems at night but as previuosly mentioned its not recommended.
because of the long distances I stuck to about 120km/hr and found I wouldn't get too stressed/fatigued as at the higher speeds the concerntration level goes up 10 fold.
On the long stretches I rode on the centre line to play salom with the white line and to break up the bordom factor and also to give myself a fighting chance of avoiding wildlife that shot out from the side of the road 50 / 50 odds
I took a puncture repair kit but never used it.
After having gone down the road a few times I ride in all leathers--- and they do get hot but hey I havent had to have any skin plastered from one part of my body to make the other bit more presentable.
Tinted visor on full face is a must along with sunnies underneath for me
