If you're planning on driving elsewhere, just remember to pace yourself. The distance thing here is a different ball game, even though you're from Texas. Uluru is a good 3000+ km drive whichever way you go.
That is a long haul but I would have no problem. About once year I go to visit my family and old friends who live about 2100km from me. I usually split the drive up into a couple of days. It would be a great way to see more of the country too! I love camping out but I may just find some motels along the way. I would have to make sure that I hire a car that has no limits on driving distances though! Thanks Camelopardalis! (everyone else)
