Please don't drive at night, the odds are stacked very much against you. The roos are suicidal, they are perfectly camouflaged and you won't see one in time to stop, you will see plenty of dead ones by the side of the road. There is also no need to do it. Carry a couple of motel catalogues. Carry plenty of drinking water (40 litres) make sure the car is in tip top condition. Going from South to North, stop at Port Augusta overnight, then overnight stay in the underground motel at Coober pedy - an expereince in itself, then stop at Alice Springs or Ulluru. Try not to drive more than 800 - 1000 km per day, although 600km is quite enough - you have to exercise the guptlets to keep them quiet.
Please post again if you want more information.
