Cheers again for the replies.
Ive hit my first snag though with this particular trip. I plan to be in Australia for 2 years on a WHV. If you do work for 3 months in certain areas you can extend a 1 year WHV for another year. This is what i wanted to do in Australia however using the carnet or even importing the bike i would have to take the bike out in 12 months time.
However one door closes then another opens. One trip I would rather do than overland to Australia is the Americas. So now im possibly looking at doing these then after that just going to Australia without the bike. If im not needing the bike when i return to the UK first the it may also be a good idea to buy and sell a bike over there rather than shipping.
Just fishing around ideas at the minute so im in no rush. I dont want to sell the flat until after spring when i can get the most dosh so ive got plenty of time to work out what im doing.
