You might also consider the usefulness of a food parcel to, say, Erldunda or Glendambo. It's a great opportunity to bake your own damper with self raising flour. A good stock of lightweight foods will be useful. There are unlimited opportunities for very pleasant free bush camping along the Highway. In most places, it is a simple matter to turn off the bitumen into the unfenced scrub.
Undergrowth is mostly sparse, so snake risk is slight.
The red sand tends to be comfortably soft, and it is easy to drive in tent pegs. There is usually enough fallen wood for a small campfire, with little fire risk, though you should be careful, and make any fire in a small trench. A trench fire is also useful for cooking damper . You should also bury any human waste - a light weight trowel is useful. Many people here do not do so, and the result is unpleasant.
