Itinerary and Camping/Lodging Info

The following is my itinerary along the Stuart Highway beginning in Adelaide and ending in Darwin or south to north if you will. I've included the information that I've gathered on camping areas and lodging both for the reader's edification and also in the event that I should somehow lose this information once I'm underway. I have not included any information on possible side trips, as I will detail these later.

I plan to update and add to this information along the way, including water stops and other bicycle-relevant information. Other travel blogs I've read seem to be a bit vague on the specifics and it is my hope this information will be of help to future bicycle travellers.
