    How much of Australia can you actually visit?

    I was just wondering - how much of our vast continent can you and I actually visit? When you cut out all the 'not allowed' areas like Aborigine land, forests whose tracks have been closed, military land, farmland, private land. How much can we actually go to? Does anyone have any figures on this?

    Dunno, but give us a call when you run out of places to go.

    I have done a trip of 8 month with my wife in the BMW motorbike and only know a bit from Bundy to Adelaide and the Riverina
    After that we lived and tour in a motorhome for 2 years and have done Tasmania to Bundaberg and still I do not know much about this area of Oz.
    I think that easy will take me 20 years to know a bit of Oz and at the end I would need to start again
    So I stopped thinking " how much of our vast continent can you and I actually visit"

    Well it seems the areas we can actually visit seem to keep disappearing thanks to NPWS and the like.... Its disappointing when we cant see areas of our own country, especially when a lot of track closures are due to lack of track maintenance etc on there behalf then the point the finger at the 4wd drive community for "destroying" the tracks.

    I was more thinking of the four horses of the apocalypse and the (plague) rat dog.
