12000 in 4 weeks! Whew! I learned my lesson doing around 13,000 in 7 weeks two up on a bike on Ozzie bitumen, in October/November about 16 years ago.

Our first day was from melbourne to renmark and then to Parachilna in the flinders( great pub there). Then onto farina has a great camping area.
From there we stayed a coward spring for a few days. From there spent one night at algebuckina then on up to dalhousie springs. Awesome spot dalhousie. From there stayed at lambertscentre of australia just outside of finke. The moved onto curtin springs on way to Uluru.

Hope that helps with some spots to stay.
Mate, that is awesome help! Will lookup all of those places, we plan to do a similar things. Stay a bit longer at the nice spots, and leave the long days driving for the black top.
