timing of the seasons
Hi,
you are leaving about the same time as we are but we are travelling in opposite directions!
We are planning to 'winter' in Spain or Morocco and wait for the seasons to change before moving on to the second leg, you should think of doing the same. Find somewhere cheap in Asia to sit around until the start of the Australian Autum / winter, then ship to northern Australia.
Central Australia is very hot in summer and you cannot travel through northern Australia during summer because of the rain. It would be a pity to not explore north of Cairns all the way to Cape York Penninsula, while you are on the continent.
You also want to be arriving in Chile in late spring early summer. I have travelled through Tierra Del Fuego in December and it was sleeting, and the mountain passes between Chile and Argentina were covered in heavy snow. So keep an eye on the seasons.
