Digressing a little from original thread
Here is a book I read recently about what maybe the first circumnavigation of Australia "Around Australia The Hard Way In 1929" by Jack L. Bowers, First published in 1995 and reprinted in 1996 by Kangaroo Press Pty Ltd Sydney.
It describes how two men in a home built sidecar on an FD Magneto model Harley do the anticlockwise loop, long before there were constructed roads. Seven weeks and 15000km later they completed the journey.
A little about the book

It looks like there was an anniversary ride in '04 http://www.members.optushome.com.au/...lair/index.htm
It's amazing what you can dig up!
