That sounds feasible Oyster-07, I like that for a plan! Plus the ride on the Saturday bus is a good 7.5 hours and I don't do sitting still very well, so I'll be very happy to get out and stretch my legs.
I would actually rather walk south to north, but I'm a bit concerned that September down South could be a little less fun due to colder/wetter weather. Other reasons for starting down south it that it would be easier for me to get to the southern terminus for a start and I know my partner would rather collect me from the Flinders Ranges as he likes the area and will be travelling a fair way to come and get me.
As always, half the fun is in the planning for me, the other half in the doing.
Timeframe wise, I'm guessing/planning about 50 days at this point including weekly rest days. I haven't broken it down into a walk plan yet which I will do fairly soon point of view of planning my resupplies. I'll be posting my own dehydrated meals to the towns along the way but buying the basics that I need in the towns. I do like to shop along the way as much as I can as well as stay a night and eat a meal out - not only for my own comfort and reward but so that the town sees some sort of return for having a trail pass through.
