Gaday Harry. 4 days will give you a great taste of what the track has to offer including the history of the Gahn, thermal ponds, outback pubs & of course
Lake Eyre. Westprint maps have a great guide which covers it all including the facilities & options for camping.
As for climbing Eyres
Rock, you are correct that often it's best to get up early before the wind close's it.
Anne once you've got to
the summit you'll know what the point of climbing it is :-) As for the top of
the rock being sacred
well that appears to be a new idea someone come up with in the past few years as the traditional owners of old had no issue at all with climbing it, in fact they couldn't understand why anyone would want to go up as there was no water, food or shelter on top making it pointless to them. While the climb is open & the owners are taking your money, clearly they are happy enough with you doing it.
Have fun,
Cheers Craig...................
