Definitely do the Nullarbor. That is an experience. And try and do it into a headwind all the way to get the full pleasure of it.
But I wouldn't bother with the rest of the route. The road trains on the Nullarbor are not too bad as there is so little traffic on the road. It's the arseholes who increase in number one you reach Port Augusta that I would worry about.
I'd love to do Race to the Rock or even Terra Australis. The off-road stuff sounds great.

I'd expect nothing less from Oz, especially with my ability to attract shit weather.
I'd really have to lift my game if I was going off-road there. I can get away with poor planning and skipping water refills in Europe (ie. Badlands got unpleasant but not risky) but it could prove less annoying and more dangerous over there.

All the cool kids did Badlands last year. I'm gonna take what I can get in racing terms. I've done enough of EU road riding but I'd still like to do Northcape-Tarifa or maybe some Scandi stuff, more Spanish stuff, I'm building an MTB so one day I would probably do TD, maybe I'll look for some longer MTB events but there's something about doing that big Oz ride that appeals - and I'm not just talking about drowning myself in iced coffee for 2 weeks :)
