Helpfulness
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: I'd pack normal stuff plus a good hat for the sun and some sunscreen. Nights can be cold so if you're going to be out and about (I can't imagine why, there's little night life) pack a sweater.
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Best you bring with you what you need, as being a remote outback town, if you find what you want in Coober Pedy, you'll pay more for it.
Photo Equipment: Best to buy film at a more reasonable price before you get here.
