@FlipFlop my friends had the same warnings in respect to the landscape of OZ. And yes, I'm a South African expat and I love the diversity of Africa in every aspect.
None the less - I enjoyed cruising through OZ. I loved the endless horizon, the emptiness, the vast landscapes. I loved the contacts with the locals, probably because they have a very similar mentality as the South Africans  I did at least 25 kkms there and was never bored.
When you live in densely populated Europe it is so relaxing to travel in countries like OZ or the Americas ..... 
Oh, and not to forget the barren lands of Namibia. Fantastic riding in a region full of emptiness. Same applies IMHO to the OZ Outback ;o)
