Hi All
A friend and I are now making new plans as a trip we had planned to
Vic High Country has been cancelled due to track closures.. Sooo we have 12days and thought we would like to go out to Ayres
Rock. Leaving 6th April - returning 18th April. I have never been out that way and looking for some advice of great
places to stopover (
Camp) along the way and back. We are self sufficient with
well setup 4wds and communications equipment.
all information appreciated
regards Aaron
ps.... like most blokes we love unique / great pubs if any goods ones along the way mention them too please :))

Gidday Aaron,
We did an Ayers
Rock trip in September last year. As we were unfortunately stuck with sealed roads (rental), we stayed at the following
places in the area:
Mt. Ebenezer Road House;
Cadney Park Homestead;
Ayers
Rock Campground;
Spud's Roadhouse,
Pimba (near
Woomera).
All are good for the self-sufficient camper. The roadhouses all had friendly staff and good food at reasonable prices (we were doing big km each day).
Ayers
Rock Campground is pricey, but clean. A bus service runs around the resort to all the accommodation and shopping centre.
Be prepared to be stung if you use a credit card at any of the businesses on the resort. Use cash or EFTPOS.
12 days might be a bit short without doing the big km each day. There's a lot to see out there!

Available from the
shop on this very site, just get the basic one to start with, it has all the info but you dont have to pay for misleading (sometimes) pictures.
