My limit in a plane is about 8 hours.
Mine too, 9 tops, (Adelaide to Hong Kong. It's under 7 to Singapore.) Yet I've been to US several times. I have stopovers,not less than 3 days. However, I HAVE flown Vancouver to London direct,but only after taking a handful of serapax.
Australia has a 11 000 miles of coast, and around 80% of us live in 6 coastal cities. Most of the country inland is pretty much deserted except for millions of sheep and cattle as well as thousands of feral camels, horses buffalo,pigs and goats.
Most desolate places I've been:
'The Hay Plain' (about 500 miles wide) and parts of the Nullabor Plain.(about 700 miles wide) I haven't been more than a couple of hundred miles up north,where it gets really rugged (That's called The Outback)

Quote:The Nullarbor Plain is part of the area of flat, almost treeless, arid or semi-arid country immediately north of the Great Australian Bight. The word Nullarbor is derived from the Latin nullus, "no", and arbor, "tree", and is pronounced /ˈnʌlɚbɔr/ NUL-ər-bor. It is the world's largest single piece of limestone, and occupies an area of about 200,000 square kilometres (77,000 sq mi)[1]. At its widest point, it stretches about 1,100 kilometres (684 mi) from east to west between South Australia (SA) and Western Australia (WA).

Quote:The Outback is the vast, remote, arid area of Australia, although the term colloquially can refer to any lands outside the main urban areas. The term "the outback" is generally used to refer to locations that are comparatively more remote than those areas deemed "the bush".
