Huge numbers of backpackers head this way on year outs and a whole industry has sprung up around them, offering hostels, working visas, car rentals, local guides, etc. So there's a lot of detailed info available, particularly for Australia. Unfortunately most is commercial in orientation, so don't get suckered into all of this at home; just get a good guidebook and head off - the rest is easy...
