Yes that can be if you venture off the main road network, However Highway
1 goes round Australia, I think about 13000 miles, with sealed roads all
the way. Some of the roads connecting are sealed and far from dirrt tracks
and some are in the outback.However if you want to travel the Gunbarrel
Highway or the Canning Stock route you will have rough roads, unsealed,
creek beds, and plenty of bumps. Gibb River Road also but I think the
first part of that may be sealed now but not sure of that. There was a lot
of talk about doing it. East to west is sealed with sevral alternative
routes you can take, Barrier Hwy or down south or whatever.

Right about Australia, urban areas and connecting highways are one thing
but in the Outback the best road you can find is a dirt track, there
without a proper 4WD travel is impossible. Ray VK2TV told me about his
Ute and primitive navigation system (a compass) and land surveying with
the only track around was the tire tracks of the Ute.
