There are several justifications for 2 passports ...
One maybe the number of expected pages required for your trip.. you may well need 2 passports to complete a trip such as yours .. each visa takes some room, each non visa country takes a bit of room too.
I think Nigeria may also demonstrate your need .. possibly some other west coast African country/ies too?
Whatever the case .. I would leave the clean second passport in Australia (assuming you get it) with application/s for visas ready to send to the relevant embassy/ies. Have it sent on to the embassies then back to your safe person and they send it on to you .. preferably at some safe location ... I would not make this a big city but a small town .. this way there should only be one office to deal with rather than being sent from one office to another.
Good Luck.
