Travel tips
Coober Pedy is the natural break-point if you want to ride this corridor in two legs rather than straight through; the underground hotels there are an experience in themselves. Greyhound's Outback pass that includes Adelaide–Alice–Darwin is the best value if you plan to continue north. Departures from Adelaide are usually in the early evening, putting you in Coober Pedy in the early hours and Alice Springs in the afternoon. The Stuart Highway south of Coober Pedy has long stretches with no phone coverage; download maps and entertainment before you board. Sit on the right-hand side for the best of the desert landscape after dawn.
