I've just read an (non-English) article about new bus line from London to Sydney. It takes 84 days and goes through more than 20 countries. Might be a unique experience, especially with your ThinkPad

sorry but almost 7000usd its insanely expensive.
2 years ago i travelled from trivandrum (south india- i was living in srilanka on that time) through the india-pakistan-iran-turkey-bulgaria-romania(so not a big milleage difference(counting india from south to north would recover the missing from laos-border of australia, and from romania si uk i dont think its more than 48hr straight drive.
i travelled alone, for 2 1/2months and it costed me no more than ~600usd (backpaking, and i still saw everything, and in countries like india or iran living like a "king")

Poor bus!

This was funny to read:

Duties can include: cooking, truck/camp cleaning, shopping and security watch

I wrote this idea off, but looking at the itinerary has me drooling.

84 days on a bus with strangers? That's a recipe for mayhem!

Do not underestimate the desire of the huddled masses to get to wonderful Sydney!

Does this bus swim?

If it's an old Greyhound bus, it might dog paddle <groan> !

When I quickly scanned the trip description earlier today I believe that the bus goes by boat from East Timor to Oz, while the guests fly.
