G'day mates,
this is our first version of our trip in 2018.
Maybe you can have a look @ it and post any comments about the route?

There's at least 20,000 kilometres in that, how much time have you allocated? You've done trips down here before, I think I recall your name, so you know what to expect. Am I right?

Hi Michael H9,
yep, you're right, it will be my 6. trip to this wonderful piece of earth :)
About 45k of bitumen, gravel, dirt and other road conditions (half CSR,...)
Our stretch of time is up to one year so more than enough.

Heiner B,
You'll find it pretty hot doing the Nullabor in Feb, so carry extra water.
Looks like you are also planning the Wonongatta Valley in April, if that slips there is a winter shutdown so it may be closed. Check Parks Victoria Web site for closures closer to the time.
