Planning a Ride - Geelong to Adelaide to Darwin (and then back again)...
Hi,
I'm looking for some basic advice from anyone who has done the above.
I'm planning on doing this trip March/April/May 2026, and I'm giving myself 30 days to do it. I've broken the journey into ten roughly 500km legs, with each one ending at accomodation of some sort (roadhouse, generally). This trip will be on the black-top; I'm not planning on going off-road or to involve any wild camping (though I am thinking about taking a sleeping bag and tarp in case I need them).
My main question is: how much notice do the roadhouses need for booking? Is the day before enough? (I'm not sticking to a strict schedule, so won't necessarily be riding everyday).

Hi everyone! My name’s Gurbaksh Kanda aka Gurby, and I’m based in Victoria. I’ve been passionate about motorcycles and off-road exploration for years, and I share that passion through my YouTube channel, ADVExplorerOz. My channel focuses on motorcycle
adventures, gear reviews, product installs, and scenic rides around Australia, especially in the Victorian High Country.
I ride a BMW R1250 GS Adventure (aka Rhino) and recently recovered from a spinal injury after an off-road mishap earlier last year—riding again has been a huge milestone for me!
I enjoy collaborating with brands, reviewing innovative gear, and helping the community get the most out of their rides. Looking forward to connecting, sharing, and learning with fellow riders here!

Hey mate, 10 x 500kms sounds like a good approach. Long days but a bunch of rest days in the mix is a good idea.
Personally, I would book early and then update if things change, but that's me. I think most of the time the roadhouses would be fine but there's always the chance that a large group would come through and book the place out. Although, probably unlikely so having an option to park up somewhere with a tent is a good backup. May is starting to get cold at night though.
