epicycles.com is a very detailed blog on the two-way trip Oz to Europe but I don't recall anything on costs. There are a couple of detailed descriptions of the visas required and they might have costs detailed. Also somewhere are spreadsheets of fuel costs and distances

I suspect the trite reply would be if you need to ask, you probably can't afford it.

First step might be to see what is involved in getting a tourist visa to Australia and go from there.

Hi Timo


We did this back in 2011 on a DR650 & XT250.
Money? Up to you really but you'll have to spend on obvious like fuel & visas. You need to eat & drink where ever you live and you decide your own budget for that.
China? Yes, from Pakistan on KKH. Expensive? Yes but worth it we think
Camped in Oz & Euro. No camping in SE Asia + india etc, why bother?
No idea about carnet costs etc. Contact AAA in Oz and ask them if you can if not a citizen etc. We imported bikes into UK and closed carnet no problem


Cheers
