What a great time you are going to have. Your Prado will be fine. The insurance you talk about would be property damage insurance. Compulsory third party is included in your registration (bodily injury). Ie if the car has current registration then you have current CTP. You can choose third party Property damage (covers someone else’s damage not yours) or comprehensive (covers both you car and other peoples property. I Would suggest getting comprehensive. You can cancel your insurance after you have sold your car so for the amount of time you are travelling it is trivial. You can generally also pay by the month. Make sure you get windscreen cover if you choose comprehensive insurance (it is a small cost extra bit worth it as replacement windscreens can be expensive especially in the outback) If you get up around Coober Pedy or even further up to Uluru, you could come back east via the Oodnadatta Track which is a great dirt road (only 400-500kms) and lots of old rail relics to see as well as the edge of Lake Eyre and some absolutely great outback pubs (William creek, Maree and Lyndhurst). If you have time (say 3-4 extra days) definitely detour to the flinders ranges. It’s awesome (I am assuming you are camping) Happy to help with other hints and places to see around if you dont mind advice from an old chook. 😎. I have had 3 Prados. They are great cars and the one you have chosen is bulletproof. None of the roads mentioned would be any trouble for a Prado. You would not need to engage 4WD just good to have the ground clearance. Hope it’s got all terrain tyres but even if it doesn’t just take it easy and you will be right. Re camping gear, Kmart isn’t a bad option for cheap stuff including tents. BCF and Anaconda are good for everything else. Kings is a cheap 4WD outlet that sells everything for not much. The quality can be a bit dodgey so have a good look. They have a good return policy but you need stuff just to work. Hope you have an awesome time.
Enjoy Guys! Look forward to it 🤙

With tha5 many miles i would be more worried about the drivetrain. Should be a great trip. Enjoy
