Just finished a trip round Australia on three DR650's with my Dad and brother. We were raising money for breast cancer research. Our website contains photos, diary entries and route maps - interesting and helpful!

Breast cancer calendar in which "twelve women who all share a passion for the GS range of BMW motorcycles have come together from all over the country (UK), to help produce a calendar with a difference."
"I am riding around the Mediterranean basin, travelling by motorcycle. The route is 75% off-road, with a total projected distance of around 15,000 miles. I am using the trip as an opportunity to raise awareness of the charity Riders for Health, whose work is making a real difference. The journey starts in London in early April 2004, and will end several months later, when I return...I will also be riding a new(ish) Honda XR650L, which is currently being prepared by David Lambeth. The anticipated length of the trip is 4-6 months, and I will head to Genoa, Tunisia, Libya, etc (anti-clockwise) to make the most of the Desert spring and eastern European summer."
Dave and Dean are planning a RTW trip. They will also film the trip and raise money for charity.
