That's still a big trip in three days if you do the speed limit..

Try and have a stretch every 4 hours or so.. Or put the windows down.. Fresh air is a great thing..
On the inland I'd recommend making sure your spare is in good nick and grab an emergency inflation kit incase..

Once you hit QLD on that road you are gonna hit a shitload of roadworks (that's where I work).. So definitely don't bargain on getting through southwest QLD doing the speed limit..

The humidity will be hard to deal with. Come stop in Mount Isa for a day. You'll think that's bad. Go work 2kms underground, now that's killer.

Good luckt with the trip. Pack appropriately and plan your route. And keep in touch with your family!!

Dunno if they work, i have a couple on my car. For $5 if it works then brilliant, if not then **** aye.

Personally, gone through National Park and deers stopped on side of road when driving by. Didnt do anything like run away or whatnot.
