Which part of the country are you coming to first seancb? Will help to narrow down what's available. Its quite a large place you know.

I would be starting in Sydney
and I would be taking my kevlar jeans but dont have a light weight jacket I will get one out there

Motomartin will probably be the best bet in the Sydney area and he will probably have some answers soon enough. If you are coming in a few months it could be getting coolish (for us anyway) down south, although light jackets would still suit the north Queensland and Territory areas then. Let me know if you are planning to come to the northern Queensland areas then.

Cheap airheads are getting scarce, but there are plenty good cheap K bikes around in Sydney.

I just did the reverse trip and toured Scotland on a Cagiva Elephant

I didnt bring take of my gear over, just borrowed some of my brothers gear, but if I did the trip again I would pack everything and just accept the excess baggage.

Good gear is expensive everywhere, so if you have it, bring it.

Actually, our winters are not a lot different from a Scottish summer, so decent wet weather gear will suffice , with a set of thermals or an extra under layer for the cooler days.
