In four weeks you will have plenty of time for stopovers etc with the following route:
Melb Mildura
Burra (good pub to stay at on first night- $30 a head)
Burra Marree Oodnadatta Track. Across to Stuiart Hwy at
Marla, turn left at border along Victory Downs Rd (good bush
camping along here). Rt at Mulga Park Rd past Mt Connor to
Curtin Springs.
Uluru, Olgas (maybe camp at resort for a night - not my scene but has hot showers). Head toward
Kings Canyon, some bush
camping after turn off to north.
Camping avail at Resort if needed.
Leave King's Canyon via Mereenie Loop Rd to West MacDonnels region. Lots of
places to stay and see in the West Macs. Make way slowly to
Alice Springs. Spend a few days here doing day trips to outlying spots (East Macs etc), and seeing Art Galleries etc
Leave AS to south either via
Old Andado track, or along the old Ghan rail line, ending up at Mt Dare. Mt Dare to
Birdsville needs 4 nights to start to appreciate the desert. After
Birdsville there are several options depending on time remaining.
Have a great trip.
