Hi all.
Me and my partner have reasoned its about time to travel to the centre. We have done some driving through central QLD + some of NSW but that is about it.

I'm looking to get verification of my plan so far. Whether it needs changing, additions, or a complete transformation.

We are only looking to use this trip as an intro - keeping mainly to the more well known and used tracks/sites. Because of this we are actually looking to do the trip in one of the Wicked 4x4 vans. Travel dates are the first week of April.

We've planned it as follows:
Day 1:
Fly Brisbane to Adelaide early morning.
Travel to Clare Valley for some wine funnery.
Day 2:
Travel to Flinders National Park (Wilpena) via Quorn.
Spend the day at Flinders - attack the St Mary Peak track.
Day 3:
Travel to William Creek on the Oodnadatta track.
Travel the Anna Creek Station track and camp on the edge of Lake Eyre (is that possible?)
Day 4:
I want to cover a lot of distance this day - I'm not sure if its possible:
Travel Lake Eyre/William Creek all the way to Uluru. I'm thinking its about 10hrs driving - would it be much more? If it is I probably need to change our plans slightly.
Day 5:
Day at Uluru & Kata Tjuta
Drive to Kings Canyon afternoonish (4 hour drive?)
Day 6:
Spend the day at Kings Canyon.
Travel to Alice arriving Alice NLT 1530 for a 1800 flight to BNE.

I'm new to this, so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks all!
