Harsh outback
The coastal journey from Adelaide west, up and back around to Brisbane are through some of the harshest areas there are. but it's not all grim. The rest of the ride is more 'rider friendly' and the sights you will see will stay with you for the rest of your life!
I hadn't checked your stats so I didn't think to suggest the Ulysses club, though they are a great bunch (Dad and Uncle joined last week, I get to be an associate member for the next 7 years ).
My point was to make sure you kept in contact with people especially during the harsh stretches. Let someone know where you're headed and when you expect to be there, then LET THEM KNOW you made it, a couple of hours in the sun with a broken leg would be miserable, but a couple of days will kill you.
Good luck with your adventure!
(an afterthought... don't worry about the GPS maps, any tourist map would be better, all the highways are numbered and well signed.)
