If the condition of Oodnadatta track is good how long does that track take?

All good, everything turned up today so I can finally get it all finished.
Spoke to someone at work today who had just come down the Oodnadatta track from the Finke race. Sounds like it was a bit wet up there and a some roads were closed for a couple of days, but it's all good now. Hopefully it stays dry and open.
I've stayed at Coward Srpings before and it's defiantly a worthwhile stopover. Planning on staying there depending when I get on the road. See how we go might be able to meet up there even.
Hi Guys,
I was having a good look at the map last night and pretty keen to do a couple of the Southern tracks across (Rig Rd, WAA Line) can people please indicate how much fuel they will be carrying?
I will have 175Lt under the car and looking to take at least 1x20lt on the roof. May consider taking 2 Just incase. Please let me know if you are carrying less that 175lts please?
Also, i can confirm that the Oodnadatta is smooth and graded and will not slow us at all.
I am looking to return to Melbourne via the Corner Country (QLD, NSW, SA) then down through Broken Hill. This will likely add a day or 2 to the return trip. (last time when we did the Madigan we did 2 massive days in the car and drove Birdsville to Geelong in 2 days) No real need to do that. The trip through Broken Hill will be dependant of the roads being open as they close them if there is light rain.
I can Confirm that there is No Fires allowed at Dalhousie but no restrictions once into the desert park. I have a friend that was there at Easter and had little trouble finding fire wood on the WAA line but i would still like us to carry our own guys. Please all bring a Bag of Wood (Servo bag or similar) then we can always have a good sized fire that 20 can sit around.
I will have 170L under the car and a jerry can on the roof.
