General
Is the Rally safe?
Organisers of the Great Endeavour Rally place a significant emphasis on participant safety and aim to provide a safe and enjoyable experience. Each participating car is fitted with a RallySafe unit which is a global tracking and timing system. This RallySafe unit ensures you are always in contact with us and can communicate even when your mobile phone is out of range.
With the dedicated support of the Australian Army, Komatsu, Transport Field Services, as well as medical support, help is never too far away. The whole team works together to make sure no one gets left behind.
I know how to drive a car but that’s about it, can I still do the Rally?
Absolutely, we have the support of the Australian Army who provide mechanical support along the way. If they can’t get you up and running on the side of the road they will put in the hours at night to get you to the start line the next morning. The Rally community is full of people with experience and mechanical ability. Even if you aren’t mechanically minded there are plenty of people around to help out.
What is accommodation like on the rally?
The Rally goes to some of the most remote and scenic locations in Australia, and as such accommodation is limited and you will be required to camp. There’s nothing quite like a swag under the stars out bush! We do attempt to access facilities where possible so you can shower, you may have a bit of a wait and may not have the presure or warmth of home but it's enough to wash off the dust. We will provide all overnight location early in 2026, if you want to book additional accomodation outside of the camping where possible you are welcome to do so at your own cost.
All participants will be required to cover their own accommodation on the evening prior to departure in Toowoomba.
