Mr Farmer's "Run for the Voice" started in Hobart covering 14,000km in support of of an Indigenous Voice to Parliament.
The 61-year-old ultra-marathoner was greeted by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese when he arrived at Uluru on October 11.
"[when] I got my first glimpse of Uluru in the distance, I just broke into tears," Mr Farmer said
"I feel this is my purpose. Everything I've ever done in the past has added up to this point.
"It's been a big journey ... but probably one of the most worthwhile of my life."
Mr Farmer told ACM in September he was running to keep the conversation about Indigenous recognition on track.
"I've met people that are trying to tell me that our birth certificates have been sold to America and it's all got to do with the Rockefeller foundation," he said.
"I don't know what the hell that's got to do with the Voice campaign."
Mr Albanese said he hoped Mr Farmer's run would encourage people to vote Yes on October 14.
"What we're hoping Australians do isn't run 14,000km, but walk a few feet into a polling booth and write three letters," he said.
"To say yes to the request that came from Uluru in 2017 - a gracious request to recognise our First Nations people in the constitution."
