I did some of the Lavender Federation Trail last year, from Clare to Eudunda. There was accommodation if you wanted it at some but not all towns. I only had one night’s bush camping, with a few nights camping at recreation grounds etc. and access to shower and toilet.
It was pretty tedious, you need an appreciation of the South Australian landscape. Plenty of road walking but traffic was rare.
Distances on the Heysen between towns/trailheads are a bit random.
Great Southern Rail Trail might fit the bill. I did this with an older friend a couple of years ago and while it’s not awfully exciting, it’s pleasant and we were able to stay in motels/pubs each night. It has been extended now and you could do 7 days with the kind of distances you’re looking for.
Edit: you can catch the V-Line bus back to your starting point.
I was also looking into the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail a couple of years back, from memory the distances and facilities were good for a “soft” walk.
