Natives,
Is it feasible to drive from Melbourne to Perth in
a small motor home? What is the price of gas in Aus ?

Just to give an idea of the distance involved it takes about 4 hours
flying time in commercial jets
to go from Melbourne to Perth.

It is about 3500 kilometres total distance you could expect to take
about 5-6 days averaging approx
8 hours per day with stops, longer if you want to take easy. Just in
case, make sure you carry extra
water and at least a mobile that connects to the Telstra NextG network
(dearest telco in AUS) but they
have the greatest coverage in Rural Aus and no most phones unless they
are designed to, do not
connect to the frequencies that NextG uses.

Thanks David.

The train takes 3 days but we are locked in. This way if something looks
interesting we can stop for a few hours. Looks like about 500 liters
or $500 AUD for fuel and $55 AUD for the camper per day. Six days is
$330 AUD.  The train is $1000 AUD each or lots more if we don't get
the concessions and there are three of us. Also we have to fool around Melbourne
and Adelaide for almost week waiting for the train.

Looks good to me.
