For one, everything on the side of the Earth experiencing daytime would have their electronic devices destroyed. Nighttime side, not so much. If it hit America, it'd basically revert to a third-world country, but Asia would still be perfectly fine.
Also, that's a terrible time to live in. Not only could your nation be invaded, but literally all electronics would be eliminated. Cars? No can do, most modern cars are run by internal computers. Phones? Nope. Internet? Nope. Any form of communication short of smoke signals? Gone. Electricity out. No lights. No food preservation, either, unless you'd like to convert completely to iceboxes. It'd be passable in the daytime, MAYBE, but our world's become too "big" to be effective after a flare. Everyone's too spread apart now. We're dependent on electrical items now.
Solar flare is definitely the LEAST passable option. You go straight to the stone age. No thanks.
I'm not passing judgement for other options, but I just needed to clarify this.

I thought if a solar flare was to hit the Earth, it would wipe out all electronics on Earth. Maybe that's not the case, which would make an interesting scenario considering which country were sparred and those that were not.
To be honest I chose the solar flare option because its the least terrible. With a zombie/nuclear/climate change, the effects are everlasting and can't be simply fixed with human ingenuity. But with a non-electronic world, I at least reason humanity will be able to rebuild but if the Earth is +15 degrees hotter due to global warming or 20 degrees colder because of nuclear winter, there isn't much we can do.

No, because central Australia will go all Mad Max

That's actually a really good idea. Better yet, wear chain mail instead of plates as its easier to remove.

It's the perfect defensible position as it has a nice pinch point with a large stream that's the only ground access point, as it drains the valley into the local river system. Already has a nice little draw bridge over it. Just build a watch tower to keep an eye out and you're set. Fresh water check, fertile ground check, well stocked gun nut country folk check. Just gotta pack up some friends and go.
And besides farm work has a really appealing sense of wholesomeness about it.
