How many hours drive from Alice Springs to Uluru?
Can anyone tell me how many hours drive it is from Alice to Ayer's Rock? I thought I'd had our schedule firmed up, but I think it is very much in dispute at the moment!
Any help appreciated!

Remember that outside of built up areas in the Northern Territory, there is no speed limit.. so go as fast as (safely) you like..
See here: http://www.ipe.nt.gov.au/whatwedo/mv...book/27-36.pdf
Then go to Page 6 of 10 in that pdf file.

If there is one road in the world that I can call "safe", than it would be Alice Springs-Uluru.... There is really nothing to distract you the whole way, very few curves, if you can call them that, the only major challenge 
, will be the turn to the right you'll have to make onto the road that leads to Uluru 
There are a few road trains at night, adapt your speed to theirs and you'll be all right.
