Melbourne to Darwin, which way to go?
Hi Everyone,
this the first leg (not counting Wellington to Auckland for shipping) of our NZ to Germany trip. We will be 2up on a 2008 Transalp.
We have two fixtures: We want to visit Melbourne and leave Oz from Darwin to go on to Dili. Arrival in Melbourne is around the 20th of August.
Given the time of year and that my partner has already done a road trip up the east cost, we are considering to ride the Stuart Highway instead.
We are pretty relaxed on sights, but 'that rock' is something we will probably do one way or the other. That means that going round the east coast will be considerably longer, which makes heavy rain in Indonesia more likely.
I have not done much more research into either option, so I still have to consider accomodation, costs for fuel and food, what to do and what to see ...
Now - opinions?
Cheers,
Florian and Nina
