May i add to this discussion the following:
Just been reading a blog of a family who as travelled around Australia, mainly stuck to the cost, only did a couple of inland trips, clocking up 45,000k in 450 days, and they still haven't done 90% of the more advanced 4wd tracks inland... Australia is a big continent, not a country, it takes in most of Europe… If you can only spare 3 months, don't bother shipping your car there and back, it will only make you want to come back and do it 'properly'!
We're taking 18-22 months to get from Melbourne to London, probably skipping Indonesia and instead spending more quality time in the countries we do visit, I agree with everyone else here… a year on the road is not a long time, unless you want to spend it driving all the time…
