Happy Birthday Bruce
A morning text message reminded me that it's Bruce Chatwin's Birthday. I'm deep in his Australian desert adventure - which reminds me of my own dream to motorcycle across Australia (although at this point I am willing to trade it in for a Land Cruiser).
That reminds me of something I said several years ago - something about having a kid and then heading into the bush after 3 years in LA. I'm in the middle of that 3 years. I've had my metaphorical kid and it's growing up just fine. And now Australia calls again. Will this be the year for 40 days in the desert? Oh, I hope so.
By the way - Happy Birthday Bruce. You continue to inspire me.
The landrover is an option, the bike is all about endurance and skill. Long way round/long way down can give you some idea. You will certainly find some noisy places outback Australia..they are inhabited by deathening circadas. A friend of mine runs a bike hire place in Sydney:

That might be a start. She is full of great suggestions, experience and loves a chat.
I ride a ninja 6 along the east coast of Australia...somewhat road bound, as you can imagine. Good luck with the planning of your Aussie Trip!

Hey, I just came across this new site... I'd call this a physical manifestation...
looks like now is the time to sharpen your skills...
That's it from me.
