Or at least I know Austin would have, but perhaps not two-up. No, definately not two-up!
First a sample map. This is a segment of the 1:50,000 - to give you a sense of scale, the little blue squares are 1km each.

You need the right kind of bike for these roads. Something robust, reliable (indestructible actually) and which looks cool when you get to the coffee shop a couple of hundred miles later. One like this perhaps.
The you have to find the road. Fortunately this isn't too much of a problem.
Recent rains had washed the road out in places (these two were nothing - I was too busy bouncing through the interesting ones to take any pictures). Yes, that is bear shit by the rear wheel.
Obviously fuel is important, so fill up whenever you can before diving back into the bush.
It's wise to take a break whenever the opportunity arises.
But you may as well make a day of it....
