Birding along Stuart Highway

Hi Everyone,
Next month I am intending to drive from Melbourne to Alice Springs. Do any
of you have tips for good birding spots along the Stuart Highway?

I seem to remember reading a great blog on this site several years back on
someones trip along this highway and the birds they saw – does anyone
remember this?

Also I will be birding in and around Alice Springs and Ayers Rock for a few
days so any tips in these places would be very much appreciated. I don’t
have the luxury of a lot of time in these beautiful places but hope to see
some exciting inland species.
