Conditions and time taken to travel Great Central Rd

Hi all,
we're doing the Great Central Rd (Laverton to Ayers Rock) in a few weeks as part of a loop through Ayers Rock, Alice, Coober Pedy and back along the Nullarbor.

We'll be starting this leg from Laverton and I was planning on doing it in two days with the 550km to Warburton day1 and then the 550km to Ayers Rock day2..

I know there's a lot to see along this road and we should take more time however we have limited trip time due to school holidays and the tribe has voted we spend more time along other sections of our trip.

Questions I have:
- is this the best way to do this trip safely/quickly? I've heard the WA side is much better so would i be better off doing the 780km to Warakurna day1 (big day) and then the shorter 300km to Ayers day2? I've also heard Warakurna is a nicer spot to stay.

- should I split my trip into 3days and do Laverton to Tjukayirla Roadhouse, then out to Warakurna day2 with Ayers day3??


I'd love to hear from anyone who's done the road recently and has any advice/thoughts.

Note: we're doing this in a 80series cruiser.

cheers Tony
