Planning on driving between these two places next year.
Picking up and dropping off rental car in Alice Springs.
Is this a safe road to drive on. Are there many accidents
on this stretch of road.. No blind corners or bends that will put me
head on with a Bus or semi Trailer.

Not if you stay on "YOUR" side of the road and wacth out for other
idiots. Remember in Australia, that is the "LEFT SIDE"

I am mindful of some tourists in 2004, who thought it was Ok to stop
and park their car in the middle of the road, around a blind corner,
whilst photographing a wild camel...............

What a pair of idiots.....

Good job I was keeping a good lookout.
