But since there is a chance I might visit an old friend on assignment in Perth, could anyone answer the initial question ("road cycling for a 2-3 week trip") relative to the western side of your continent - in July/Aug. Tom has mentioned a wine region south of Perth? My style would be 100km/day - don't mind sleeping on the ground but prefer not to carry too much gear, so probably modest hotel/hostel.
Thanks.
edit: I should check for WA's rainy months.
You would be looking at the Southern part of Western Australia. You don't have to go too far north to be into desert and semi-desert in WA. July/August is winter in Australia although that probably is a good time to maybe venture a little north. North of Perth is still sparsely populated.
Yes, July and August is the wettest time of the year in WA.
