Most of my gear has been purchased, just waiting on a couple of things to arrive, hopefully tomorrow. After much research on lockable waterproof top boxes, I finally decided on the Hepco and Becker Gobi box. Big enough to carry the important stuff like laptop and camera, also has tie down points for gear.
Picked up a tent yesterday, was going crazy trying to decide on a tent. Found a basic lightweight (2.5kg) 3 man tent that didn't cost too much and I can throw it away if I really hate camping. I couldn't stomach some of the single person tents, they are like nylon coffins. This one has plenty of room for my gear and me. Current plan is to camp through most of northern QLD and NT, however as I am a Saggitarian and female - those plans can change in the blink of an eye.
It took 15 minutes to erect the tent the first time and less than 10 to knock it down and pack it away. I'm happy with that.
My brother and I are meeting up with an old friend in a couple of weeks for an overnight ride, I plan on loading the bike up with all my gear for that weekend to see how it handles. Wait for the update in mid May.
