I know you have friends in Australia and a lot of people will disagree with what I’m going to say but, in my opinion, there is a lot of time wasting there.
There is a lot of nothing and it all looks pretty much the same ie the mountains in Victoria look the same as the mountains in NSW and Queensland. The coast is the same. You can be in a country town in WA and ride over 4K km to a country town in Queensland and the people will look, dress and sound the same. The architecture will be the same and so will the food - and that 4K km ride is a lot of nothingness on a 250 - at least I did it on a 500
I appreciate we’re spoiled in Europe and there’s no other continent with such diversity in close contact but to be in touch with locals and the land I would not choose one of the most baron, sparsely populated and richest countries in the world.
I don’t know your history, or where you’ve been already - but my choices for your kind of trip and time scale would be
Alaska to Patagonia.
Circumnavigation of Africa - perfect for a WRR
Through the Stans to Mongolia
Wishing you a great trip
