Between Wudinna and the border you would still have Ceduna, Penong, Yalata, Nundroo and Nullabor before hitting border village. All of which have Large road houses, fuel, pubs and accommodation. So maybe 700 kms with 5 stops.
Ceduna even has a Subway and Hungry Jack's and is a town of 2000 people.
It is harsh in the outback. But it isn't that bad.
My first time driving cross country in Mexico (yes, I know, doesn’t compare to Oz), I had about a quarter tank when I passed a gas station and was like ‘no need, we’ll be totally fine til the next one’. The next one was (unexpectedly) like 100 miles and I can not tell you the amount of wear I put on that steering wheel’s leather until we came up on a random super rural tire patch station with a few quarts of gas. I was happy to pay the old dude the extreme mark up.

Wait. Does that say Wudinna on the sign.
Good advertising but quite hyperbolic.

20 miles down there's the actual last stop and they wonder why no one heeds their warning
