Not accounting for wind, you're looking at about 23 hours flying time to do that round trip based on some basic calculations. I haven't flown it, so take my advice with a grain of salt.

Cool Think Big

My command time was an outback dream. Coloundra to Ayres Rock, stopping at Charlliville, Windorah, Birdsville, Bourke, etc etc You,ll never forget it.
Fly by Wac not gps although a good backup. Learn. Get notams and weather everyday on your decisions. Be prepared to be flexible. Firstly - ? fuel, carnet, cash, creditcard,? essential stuff.
Accomodation at this stage is second. But camping in a C172 isn,t fun. And cold. Attractions ? combine your time with what you,d like to see. Take a good camera and spare batterys. Plenty to see, ! mum and dad love that stuff.
Take it as a challenge and a big learning curve, both in flying and how to deal with the locals.! Great Stuff.
Goodluck
