Overland to Australia in a Splitscreen bus…
Overland to Australia in a Splitscreen bus…

Saw this and it got me thinking…
The first car to make it overland from the UK to Australia in 1927!
If this could make it back in the day, could a Splitscreen bus also do it?

Of course it could, the question is could it be done with zero breakdowns and only routine servicing

Bigger problem these days would be finding a safe/politically possible route.

Would you go via Turkey or Ukraine?

I'd go via the Baltic States, but at some point you're going to have to decide between the China route, who only give out visas for bringing in vehicles in exceptional circumstances, or the Iran/Afghanistan/Pakistan route and I don't fancy that.
I met some people in Goa last year who were in European registered campers, and they had generally all arrived in India by sea.

German Splitscreen shot down while in Russian land space. Angela Merkel States there will be serious consequences.
