OK, well that's essentially the route by which I returned from Perth.
I've now done a fair amount of outback riding (and flying) and don't find it boring, but I still think there's more scenic variety if you keep closer to the coast.
As mentioned above, the road across the Nullarbor actually runs very close to the coast between Eucla and Nullarbor roadhouse, so there are many opportunities to enjoy some excellent scenery there.
I found the ride from Port Augusta to Ceduna via Port Lincoln more enjoyable than the return from Ceduna to Port Augusta via Kimba.
Farquhar -- one of the reasons I went via the coast was specifically to ride the Great Ocean Road. But as you point out, you miss a lot in NSW and Victoria if you don't make diversions off the highway to places like Bermagui and Mallacoota.
I'd love to do it all again one day.
