The Uluru 
Motorcycle Convoy

Riding to Uluru is a bucket list trip for most people, but carrying gear is a huge hassle and going alone isn’t much fun.

Our experienced guides and well-equipped vehicles will support you along 3100kms of surfaced roads. Along the way you’ll see amazing things, visit iconic places like Coober Pedy and Kings Canyon and make lots of new friends.

Included in the price is a full camping kit, with everything you need for this once-in-a-lifetime journey. We’ll carry all your gear and we can even set it all up and pull it all down for you at every stop.

Unlike our other convoys, this trip is only for people travelling alone or with a passenger.

FAQs

  • We travel with a Starlink satellite dish to make sure that everyone has access to fast, reliable internet at all of the campsites.

  • We stay at powered sites for the whole trip, except for one night at Coober Pedy on the way home.

  • There are lots of little supermarkets and shops along the way and at Uluru, so you’ll have plenty of opportunities to stock up as we go.

    We will provide you with a detailed itinerary showing where you need to stock up on food and where to refuel.

    Most of the campsites have camp kitchens and a lot have bistros or are near pubs or restaurants, so you can buy meals if you don’t feel like cooking.

  • Some of the campsites have washing machines and dryers available for a small fee, usually around $4. Most have a camp kitchen, which you can use to wash your dishes.

  • As with all of our trips, you’re welcome to join in as much or as little as you like. You can keep to yourself or hang out with the group around the campfire. It’s totally up to you. Everything is very flexible.

    We just want everyone to have an amazing adventure, feel comfortable and make great memories, safe in the knowledge that they’re not alone if they need support.

Here’s what we have planned:

Day 1 & 2: Port Augusta

On day one we’ll meet up at the first campsite, which is just outside of Port Augusta.

We’ll set up camp for the next two nights, have a little safety briefing and start getting to know each other.

On the way to the campsite you might want to stop at attractions like the pink lake or the Port Germain Jetty, which was once the longest jetty in the Southern Hemisphere.

There’s lots to do around Port Augusta too. There’s a great maritime museum at Whyalla, a really interesting tour at the steelworks and the outback discovery centre at Port Augusta.

Day 3: Port Augusta to Woomera

We’ll say goodbye to Port Augusta on day three, as we ride a couple of hours north to Woomera.


After we’ve set up camp at Woomera we’ll head out to Lake Hart to have a BBQ while we watch the sun set.

The massive salt lake has some of the most beautiful sunsets we’ve ever seen, so it’s a great place to get some photos.

Day 4 & 5: Woomera to Coober Pedy

On day four we’ll head up to the opal capital of Australia, Coober Pedy.

It’s about a 3.5 hour ride, but we’re staying for two nights so you’ll have time to rest.

There are so many unique things to do in Coober Pedy. We recommend taking a tour out to the Breakaways and iconic Dog Fence, visiting Tom’s working underground mine and going blacklighting for opals with our local expert.

People on our trips have found some really amazing opals on the blacklighting tour, although there is a very real risk that you’ll get addicted to the hunt and won’t want to leave!

Day 6: Coober Pedy to Erldunda

We’ll say goodbye to Coober Pedy on day six and head off on the longest ride of the trip - five hours to the very centre of Australia, across the NT border to Erldunda.

It’s a long ride, but don’t worry. We’ll stop along the way and have a rest.

Erldunda is always a trip favourite. It’s a lovely campsite with a great vibe, big fire pit and a pub serving giant parmas.

Day 7: Erldunda to Kings Canyon

We’ll leave Erldunda in the morning of day seven and ride about three hours to Kings Canyon.

Kings Canyon is such a special place. Most people like it even more than Uluru. It has amazing walks, tours with local indigenous people and beautiful scenery.

Day 8 - 10: Kings Canyon to Uluru

On day eight we’ll head to Uluru!

There are a lot of things to do around Uluru! We haven’t booked anything, because everyone’s budget and interests are different, but we’ve done most of the activities are we’re always happy to offer advice.

Here are just some of the options for your time in Uluru:

  • Indigenous tours

  • The Field of Light art installation

  • The Kata Tjuta domes (previously known as The Olgas)

  • Helicopter tours

  • Camel tours

  • Skydiving

  • Segway tours

    We’ll be there for three nights, so there’s plenty of time to do everything.

Day 11: Uluru to Erldunda

It’s time to leave Uluru and start heading home, but we still have a lot of exciting things ahead of us!

On day 11 we’ll ride the couple of hours back to Erldunda, where we will camp for the night. Keep an eye out for local celebrity rooster Cluck Norris!

Day 12: Erldunda to Coober Pedy

We’ll continue to retrace our steps on day 12, with the last long ride of the trip.

We’ll ride five hours back to Coober Pedy, where we will spend the night at the only campsite in the world where you can camp underground!

Don’t worry if you’re claustrophobic, they have above-ground campsites too.

This is the only night that we’ll be spending in unpowered campsites, although there are still toilet and shower facilities.

Day 13: Coober Pedy to Woomera

We’ll continue down to Woomera on day 13 to check out the missile park, with it’s unique rockets, missiles, planes and drones. You’ll even see the rocket that launched Australia’s first satellite into space. There’s a great museum in town too.

We’ll head over to the observatory after dark and look through their giant telescope at the area’s incredibly clear sky (subject to weather and the availability of the volunteers who run it).

Day 14: Woomera to Mount Remarkable

Day 14 is officially the last day of the trip.

We’ll ride about three hours to Melrose, at the foot of Mount Remarkable, with it’s amazing lush landscape and friendly wildlife.

The campsite is incredibly beautiful and the perfect place to have a big campfire together to celebrate the end of an amazing adventure.

Don't just take our word for it

  • We are just rolling back into Adelaide after the most incredible two week trip to Uluru with Bold Gorilla. What an adventure!

    We were travelling just in our swags with temps hitting 0 degrees several nights and whilst we were prepared, Brook and Brenda checked in each day to see if we were warm enough, supplying us with extra blankets for the frostiest of nights.

    We were supplied with devices to help us connect in remote areas if we ran into any trouble and the BG team were always at the back of the convoy, looking out for everyone.

    It was the perfect balance of planned activities versus free time and free play for the kids. Of our own freedom, as well as connection whenever we wanted it.

    All the families on our trip were absolute legends. We met amazing characters in each town, some lovely, some cranky, some hilarious and all making up the colourful chapter that this trip will be in our family's story forevermore.

    Highlights for us were - the cuttlefish, campfires, Uluru, Kata Tjuta, Tom's Mine and the great crew.

    We are absolutely buzzing. Huge thanks to the BG team for creating such a wonderful opportunity for us as a family to be together in this way.

  • My daughters (9 and 7) and I recently returned from the Uluru convoy.

    The trip far exceeded my expectations on every level - the organisers, the people, the itinerary, the planned activities and the pre trip planning.

    Brooke the business owner picked the most wonderful itinerary and group activities clearly based on her experience as a parent, her love of travel and adventure and the relationships she has built with business owners over the years.

    My girls loved every minute of the convoy and shined each day as they absorbed the beautiful scenery, chatted and played with their new friends and learnt so so many new things.

    The frequency and type of activities that Brooke arranged for the group were perfect including attending a kangaroo sanctuary and touring a live opal mine.

    All activities were optional and you could dip in and out of the group as you wished but always knew you were in the competent and kind hands of Brooke and James which I found incredibly reassuring as a sole parent travelling with two children.

    As a result of this exceptional experience, and Brooke and her team, my girls and I have found a new love for travel and adventure. Thank you so much Bold Gorilla. We are now planning our next trip with you. It was a life changer for us!

  • I’ve never seen my son be so social! He took a couple of days to come out of his shell, but after that we couldn’t pry him away from his new friends. He is usually too anxious to talk to anyone or make friends. It was great for his confidence and I can’t wait to take him on another trip.

  • This is our 2nd time travelling with Bold Gorilla. We recently travelled with Bold Gorilla on the Uluru convoy and had the most amazing time.

    We went from swimming with giant cuttlefish, noodling for opals, to seeing the beauty of Uluru all in one big adventure.

    It was so nice to experience the trip as a group and Brook and Brenda went out of their way to ensure we were looked after. Not only did they pack extra camping chairs and mattresses for us upon hearing that our car was full to the brim, Brook also lent us her hot water bottles and other supplies that we hadn't thought to bring.

    Would definitely recommend travelling with Bold Gorilla and can't wait for our next adventure.

    Laura C

  • The Uluru trip offered by Brook and her team exceeded our expectations. Brook and Brenda looked after the group ensuring our need for information and support were provided with a smile and care.

    The trip was well planned. Safety was provided by the support trucks and all families had a communication device.

    Nothing was too much for the team.

    We all enjoyed the group campfires and the opportunity to connect with other families.

    Really recommend these tours - not too much structure but just right for a relaxing journey through remote parts of SA and NT.

  • The trip was amazing and everyone made us all feel welcome and helped me out with both my son and his assistance dog when I was struggling with my knee injury.

    Just be aware with injuries it may be a little difficult to get out of barge and back on at the island as had to climb over side. But everyone was willing to help me and our dog off.

    Bel C

  • Thanks for the memories my family & I take away from our experience on the Uluru convoy which has left us feeling so grateful to Brook, Brenda & the team, who were absolutely amazing, they all went above and beyond to do their absolute best to ensure things went as smoothly as possible for everyone, sometimes in trying circumstances beyond their control in a large group....

    I can't recommend dealing with this company highly enough & will most definitely seek to join them on future adventures & will happily recommend them to others.

  • My family have enjoyed three trips with Bold Gorilla: two within Australia and one overseas. All three were wonderful experiences.

    Bold Gorilla trips strike a great balance between structure and flexibility. Even though you are travelling with the support and companionship of a group you don't have the pressure and stress that is often a part of group travel.

    Jennifer R

  • Amazing experiences organised, I am blown away with the quality of them.

    Louise C

  • The experience with Bold Gorilla was awesome.

    My son and I travelled to Japan with them, my son made some great friends and we had such a good experience. It was so good to have the experience of the tour organiser to guide us on all things Japanese - how to catch PT, where to eat, activities to do etc.

    Have already booked my next two trips with them.

    Note- while you're with a group, it's still very self-directed and free meaning you can make the trip your own, while being in the safety of the group.

    Shashi H

  • Uluru convoy was brilliant. Brooke & James could not have been more helpful. We felt safe & supported & had an awesome time.

    Tracey M

  • This is our second trip to Private Island with Bold Gorilla and it won't be the last :-) Although the trips are unstructured, pesky logistical details were taken care of before I could even think about them myself. Myself and my son had a ball, felt secure and part of a special group of travelers that just click together. I recommend Bold Gorilla to anyone who will listen. Great memories and great learning opportunities for my homeschooler.
