And you would need it and probably more if the water starts evaporating - its summer there now, right?
you are a brave man, going from Darwin to Perth on a bike?
A friend of mine went up the coast from Busselton (near Perth) to somewhere near Dampier, if I am not mistaken, to do some fishing with a friend and he was on a truck and carrying a ton of water and more than a couple of hundred gallons of gas for the truck. His explanation was that in some parts the only way to get rescued was when equivalent of the Highway Patrol in U.S. did a weekly flyover in a light plane...crazy.
