Hey there Barney,
My best mate and I are also planning Oz to UK next year, although earlier than you by the sounds of things. We've also got a similarly hopeful budget to you.
We're planning on taking off in February - riding as much as we can South to North in Oz (we're Melbourne based), before shipping to KL and continuing from there. Just researching the China crossing now, and it goes without saying that the bigger the party, the cheaper the crossing. Did you plan to ride through China, or just around it? (Not sure what you meant by 'shipping through South Korea')
Very open to joining forces if it benefits all parties.
Jimmy

Hi Jimmy, I haven't planned on venturing into China on this trip and due to commitments in March back in the UK I couldn't start that early. Re shipping through South Korea. I'm basically shipping the bike from Oz to Vladivostok. It'll go in and out of Korea crated if that makes sense 
Cheers
Neil

Hi Barney
Yes, May is about the earliest you want to start, still a bit cold but not too bad. I've done Vladivostok to Europe and back the opposite way 4 times now.
This year I went with a friend for the first time. We got on well, the problem was I had to wait for him every morning for 1 - 4 hours. I was ready and organized the night before, up early and ready to go while he had his stuff ... 3x more than needed - spread across the room.
Also he had problems doing over 400km per day, that was about his limit, Its normal for me to do 800 - 1200 - hence it took a lot longer.
If you plan on riding in a group I would make these rules clear at the beginning otherwise it could be frustrating.
I'll go alone next year.
