| Summer down under.........
Adelaide = wineries/drinking, local hinterland is picturesque
Melbourne = food/cafe capital, great ocean road for the sceanery.
can travel via the coast or via the mountains(the pick if on a bike about 1000-1500kms) to..
Canberra = surprised people know it exists, ok for a brief visit to the capital for some history then onto (300kms) ..
Sydney ='lifestyle' city, thats beaches, eating and more beaches, good local rides and sight seeing in the area then up the coast (1000kms) to
Brisbane = main capital from which people go north, rain forrests,Noosa, barrier reef etc or south to the gold coast(brisvagas) or Byron Bay etc again some good local rides and also between Sydney and Brisbane.
For that length of time most people buy a car/van (petrol about $1.50lt) and drive their way around, mix it up with hotels and camping. Most people are surprised by the distances you cover between towns. Further north you go the hotter it gets 30 - 38 deg and humid. You can also get some cheap flights now (not sleay jet cheap) if you want to fly and hire a car.
When you arrive get your self a copy of the motorcycle atlas (Hema? about 12 squid) it lists the 50 top rides in australia. Good way to plan your route even if in a car.
Other than that, enjoy.......a pint is a pot down south and a scooner from Sydney up, not really as big a a pint, but then we like our beer cold.
