Allow three days via
Broken hill and
Peterborough. I did it pulling a CT in July. Its a long way and most of the drive is boring. Cheaper to fly because you will use a heap of fuel as you will want to cruise at 100 - 110kph. When in Alice visit
the Desert Park. It is magnificent but allow a day for it and do not miss the bird show in the afternoon. If
camping or caravaning (or even if in a cabin) stay at MacDonnell Ranges Caravan
Park. Lovely people and they have a free pancake breakfast on Sundays. (Its a Big 4
park).

Just keep in mind if staying overnight in Dubbo lock everything up as they have a problem with light fingered people that take anything & everything.
