Tim,
Try
Broken Hill, Innaminka to
Birdsville, Up the Development road to Mt Isa, to
Lawn Hill national park, the Gulf, across to NT via
Roper bar. All this is fairly easy touring. Roads can get a bit corrugated at the end of the dry so make sure your trailer springs are up to it.
I'd leave
the rock and do that from Tindall as a seperate trip as, once you get over there, you're pretty
well limited to the Stuart Highway to go north.

broken hill across to
peterborough up to

lake with water back track to
marree up to
birdsville (not sure when the races are ) across the simpson to dalhousie up to the alice and head north .not sure where you can get a plane ride over
