We are driving from Adelaide to Darwin in July. We don't have as long as we'd like for the trip, and want to have a few stops along the way - Coober Pedy, Ayres Rock, Kings Canyon & Alice Springs.

The current timetable has us driving from Alice Springs to Katherine in a day. Given there is nothing we really want to see along the way, is this realistic? It's 1181 km, and from what I remember of the road (from 1981) it's mostly open country - ie not likely to be stuck behind caravans etc for long stretches. There are few towns, and most are small, and the speed limit is 130kph. I've done longer distances in a day before, but I was a bit younger then.

Any input from someone who has driven this road recently would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Geoff
