Go for it Mavicone!
You have the right bike for the job....get a good tent and bed roll and whilst it may be true that you don't have to be a member of clubs etc, joining Ulysses will be a really good idea, if you are not a memebr already. Ulysses memebers will give you a bed if you need one, they will share rides with you and in any town of size there is usually a few members who just get together for a coffee and take in a ride....

was an active Ulysses memebr myself in Gippsland and for a bit in Darwin but no bikes now, coz I hated leaving the dogs at home all the time!

Enjoy!
