We did a trip to SA last year and did pretty much what Coen has described so well. I couldn't agree with him more. Spectacular scenery.
One warning: do not drive fast on the gravel roads, it is hard rock country and your tyres will take a pounding, particularly if heavily loaded. There were 4 of us and we did 3 tyres between us in that region. New tyres are recommended, not old ones.
Scenic flight at Wilpena is outstanding - a must do if the weather is clear.
Kanyaka Ruins are excellent.
Parachilna Gorge and Glass Gorge are a spectacular drive and the geology is fascinating - take plenty of memory cards for the camera and keep the dust out of the camera, not like me!!
It is a pity you don't have more time, the Oodnadatta Track is not far away and the early history there is not to be missed. Enjoy it because we want to go back and explore some more.
