The best, even the only way at last is in your own motobike.
I have a daughter going to Australia for a year in november.

Where is your daughter going in Australia, docrafita? Is she on a motorcycle too?
Based on advice from HUBBers etc, I am now leaning towards doing my first long trip in Europe, to build up experience in a safer and more populated environment. There are heaps of places in Europe I want to see, and have only been hesitating due to the expensiveness of Europe. So I'm thinking of getting by accommodation-wise with a combination of Couch Surfing and HelpExchanging (similar to WWOOFing) for 4-5 months from April - August after my winter season in Canada.
I'm planning longer trips on the motorcycle for later this year to build up experience and hopefully will have done Melbourne to Perth (4000kms-ish) by mid next year. I'm not in any rush so am happy to plan and prepare for this slowly and safely!
Thankyou everyone for all your help and advice, and keep it coming!
Nicola
