Does anyone have suggestions on where to stay in Port Augustus and Cooper Pedy? From everything I've found online, we'll need to do the Cooper Pedu to Uluru stretch in one day.
Not to be too pedantic here but you may get further with your searches if the names were spelt correctly

It is....Coober Pedy and Port Augusta

From all of us here in SA we wish you a great outback adventure
