I'm going from Mt Dare to Alice as part of a trip next June and want to take in part of the Old Ghan Heritage line.

I have have done some homework on this site and take away the following.
-The road will be rougher after the Finke races
-There are lots of spikes but manageable at speed and with correct tyre pressure.
-The section from Maryvale to Finke is quite rough but it is better from Maryvale to Alice.
-Chambers Pillar is a rough ride but worth it.

Can someone tell me the following
1)Is the above basically right and anything else to watch?
2)Can I camp basically anywhere along the way and what are some nice spots to camp?
3)What is the approx driving time from Mt Dare to Finke then Finke to Maryvale then Maryvale to Alice?

Will 1 1/2 days be too quick?
Any other advice?

Thanks in advance
