Default how much would it cost to travel around australia?

hi i was just wondering how much it would cost to travel around australia for two people in a 2.8td GU patrol with a 1000kg trailer travelling for about 8 months will be sleeping in the back of the car so no need for caravan parks
including
food
spending money
fuel ETC.
for most places we would rather just go bush and camp for the night and i doont think i could travel somewhere in 3 months if i like a place i would like to stay there for a few days so i am sure its going to be more then 6 months we have a shower but ur right a nice hot good one will be great and there normally about 3 dollars at most places and most towns have laundrymats so we would go there
well blasts bf here she wants to take 2 quads around with us at 160kg a peice plus gear and fuel so 200kg each my trailer im building to do this will come in a tad over 420 so thats 820kg just to take bikes and we will have to sleep in the back of the car that im fine with but i would rather not take the bikes and get a camper would be a lot lighter then 820kg for somthing that we cant even pull off in any national park etc to use,
what do u think do i take the bikes or
do i get a camper and go that way,
im looking at putting a 3.5 to 3.7m ally on top of bikes and the trailer will have a 400 by 2400 by 2000 box under bikes any help would be gratefully accepted and im not interested in the caravan thing i would rather pull off a road go 10min in bush and camp there will be taking own shower etc with us

Hmm....

Petrol a day = approx $50.
Food a day = approx $50 (for 2)
Spending money = approx $5000 (for 8 months).

You;d need about $30,000 to travel across Australia, everything included.

petrol at the moment is ranging between 1.04 and $1.21 a litre.
food would be about $50 a day but there are some great small towns which have good cheap food so you might find it to be cheaper.
spending money depends on what you want to go and see zoo admissions are usually between $15- $24 that includes animal sanctuarys national parks you might find you may still have to pay for sites where you sleep with your own caravan because you can get fined from the council just say if your in a car park sleeping somewhere because its not contributing to the comunity. ( i got in trouble when my friends and i all slept in the car the coppers said if we were seen doin it again he would fine us!)

You'll have to stay at caravan parks to shower and wash clothes, also, it is against our rules to just park up and stay somewhere, there are a few places you are allowed too, but not very often, so you could end up getting fined.

You can drive around australia in 3 months if you do a quick trip, if you are staying 8 months you are either doing a slower trip, which means staying at parks, or working.

Traveling Australia is an amazing experience, my family have done several big trips and can’t wait for the next time we travel the great outdoors again. Using the trips that we have done as an example, we traveled 10,000 km in 6 weeks and tented most places and it cost about $1000 per week might be about $1200 now.

Post Marriage Arranged by an Unborn Baby

The other day a Chinese told me that to go with the traditional custom,one's marriage has to be decided by his or her parents and that accordingly,her mother's marriage was arranged by her grandparents,but her sister has broken the tradition. "How?"I asked. "Her marriage was arranged by her unborn baby." "What do you mean?"I was puzzled. "She had to get married because of her premarital pregnancy,"She explained in embarrassment.
