When I was younger (a lot) I did a trip from Perth, Meeka, up thru Tom Price and back down via Headland. If I remember rightly - I spent most of the time sitting in the back watching things go by (slowily).:)

In 1962 I drove my Series 1 from about 100 miles out of Aramac to Sydney non stop - took about 24hours.
In 1966 I drove (with a codriver) my 2a diesel non stop from about 150 miles East of Finke to Sydney. Took about 48hours from memory. Not sure you call either of them a day trip.

More recently I drove the 2a from home to Penrith - about 400km, but including over the mountains, done easily in the day. I stopped overnight at Mudgee on the way back, but then I didn't leave Penrith until about 4pm.

2000ish km, we were 3 up and we did perth to darwin with loooong range tanks on (500+ useable liters) toilet brakes were a case of opening the tailgate and throwing out the used bottle...... GIB cooked a feed before sleeping and change over was a case of set hand throttle, GIB would hold the wheel, passanger would slide across to the driving position and we keep on rolling.

My biggest trips were Melbourne to Perth and back in my old 1973 SIII SWB.

Part of the trip back I drove from Ceduna to Melbourne only stopping for fuel and a bite to eat. Took 24 hours I seem to remember (0700 departure - 0700 drive over Westgate Bridge). Spent 4 days on the Nullarbor waiting for parts and fixing my timing chain.
