Hi
I am Perth based and looking to do the same - darwin - Indo (ship to malaysia as no ferry) - malaysia - poss ship to nepal then onwards (ship from pakistan to georgia) then through Turkey and EU and UK UK.
What i found out is.... Indonesia seems hard but do able until island opposite Malaysia (no ferry).
From Malaysia Thailand is now not worth it given costs of needing a tour operator, Myanmar again very expensive now needing same as Thailand.
If your British you need a tour operator through Iran as well and again very costly.
looks like a continuous journey on this route is too costly, too early in the year to go north to China/Russia
Any ideas welcomed but looks to me that the days of motorcycling overland is starting to close off.
Another idea is to fly and rent a scooter in each island in Indonesia, Rent a big bike in Thailand, dirt bike Myanmar and rent a bullet in India. This in itself could take a while. Not as an achievement but an option. renting in the countries like Thailand, Myanmar would add to the cost and shipping too many times are killers.
Carnets in Oz are easy to get though.
Maybe I'm not great at planning trips though with what I have found
