The TOYOTA land Cruiser, the best selling 4WD in Australia, but have about AU$100,000 (US$65,000) in your pocket.
I have come within 30,000 feet of this area and from there it is still all red sand to the horizon. Also on the Oodnadatta Track about 100kms from the edge of this desert.
Google Earth is a fascinating thing, I recommend it to see the scale.

PS,
I expect that our peace loving Chinese brothers have sent a few Lt Colonels as 'tourists' to check out the terrain, and they have sent back the message "FORGET IT". It is about 3500 kms from the west coast to Canberra and most of it is as you see here. Generals Miles, Sands, and Waters are unbeatable.
