I'd pretty much go with Dave and Reads suggestions - if you don't have a draw system. Lie the wheel flat in the centre well, fill with gear (I usually put spares parts in there) and put a board over the top to level it out.

I would opt for carrying the wheel up against the front seats and ( if able ) with the rear seats out.The bonnet carrying cuts down your vision and with it on makes lifting the bonnet heavy.I have carried them on the roof rack but on the trip you are making everything has to be very very secure because os the road conditions which 95% of the time are woeful .Carrying it in the rear takes up room which should be used for your fridge as it is easy to go for that daily drive to recharge the required batteries to run it.The trip is a great one but boy its great to get back to the bitumen at Laura and the end of it.If you are in convoy take the old telegraph track where you can its worth it believe.
Have a great trip

I have dual wheel carriers comming for the back. Still have to make the bar to mount them on and fit the rear winch.
Hold on just a cotton pickin minute!
Isn't Dave coming along as support vehicle / mech etc?
This problem can be easily solved by getting him to bring along a 130 single cab trayback ute, and everyone put their second spares on IT with their names clearly marked in crayon.

(Wish I was going too:(:(:()
On a serious note, any spare inside the vehicle will need to be VERY well tied down. I would even check the cargo barrier for compliance as the weight of some of these rims and 12 ply tyres can be a fair bit.
