Imagine being so totally alone (except for the dude following you in a car so you don't cheat) like that. Just you, your bike, and the beautiful country all around you (and a dude following you in a car to make sure you don't cheat)

Must've been great.

Just you, your bike, the beautiful country, and the most dangerous fauna on earth.

Sorry, I live in a tiny island where the most hostile animal outside of man is a fire ant. Australia seems nice, just wildly unpredictable.

The Australian wildlife thing is pretty exaggerated. If you stick to the roads you'd probably only rarely get close to a wild animal, and it'll just be vibing along and leave you be.

Except in far north Queensland and parts of the NT which were avoided for a reason.

What’s up there they avoided it for?

Oh but if you want to live do not enter the crocodile kingdom
