I went there back in 1991 - budgeted a week's stay in Alice and side trips to Uluru and Kings Canyon - both were mindboggling and a week wasn't long enough. If going, do it properly. Either fly or drive there, and reckon on spending at least 10 days seeing things in the area. There's a lot to see. Some crazy good museums and art galleries too. If driving, take a 4wd or a VW Kombi - the roads are NOT good. I went in September, after the first fall of rain in several years. The wildflowers were off the planet incredible.
The young Seagoons drove there from Sydney last year, said it was totes worth it. It's very very far.
Can confirm. The drive north from Adelaide is just amazing. I pulled over one night off the highway, drove about 1km west along very flat easy ground and camped for the night. The stars were just unbelievable.
