Brisbane to Uluru road trip: Northern route itinerary
And finally… Uluru
The last leg of the journey is from Alice Springs to Uluru, a drive that is much longer than many people think. It’ll take you the best part of five hours.
Head down the Stuart Highway towards the Erldunda Roadhouse. You can ride camels at Stuarts Well on the way, if you really want to.
You then continue down the Lasseter Highway past the ‘fake Uluru’ of Mount Conner.
