You can do Yulara - Dalhousie via finke/Mt Dare in a pretty long day. Since you are doing it backwards I'd suggest getting up very early because the danger part is the sealed road between Erldunda and Yulara. High speed limit and unfenced roads. The dead pigs you see through there are the size of small cows. I would stop at dusk or at least not try to finish the run quickly if I ran out of light.

I don't know what gbc saw on the Lasseter Hwy, but it was extremely unlikely to be dead pigs - or even one dead pig.
I know I've never seen a live or dead pig on the road, or by the roadside in Central Australia - and I've been through the area a reasonable number of times.

Feral Pigs do get around, for sure - but they prefer mud, water, long grass, and plenty of pig food - which is largely roots and tubers, green shoots, succulent grasses, and small animals when they can catch them - and carrion.

Of all those, only carrion is in abundance in the Red Centre. Overall, the dry inland areas are normally too dry for feral pigs.
They need water on a very regular basis - and they need it exactly the same as we do, and as often - to drink, and to keep cool.
The Outback is a most uninviting place if you're a feral pig - there are a lot better places to live, breed and hide, when you're a feral pig - such as the wetter regions with thick vegetation.

The Federal Govt has extensive records of feral pig infestations, complete with charts - and the Red Centre doesn't feature very highly as a feral pig habitat.
In fact, I dare say you'd spend a long time looking, to actually find a feral pig - live or dead - in the Red Centre.

The DoEE feral pig distribution map, does list a small area around the Finke Gorge NP as an area where feral pigs are LIKELY to occur.
This does not mean there are actually feral pigs there - it only means the area is favourable for supporting feral pigs, if they do manage to move in.

Any feral pigs found in out-of-the-way places are usually escapees from pig farming ventures.
I've actually seen a few of these in the W.A. wheatbelt, but they are very, very rare.
