Larapinta Trek Day 5 🌅
On our third day of Trekking, we rose well before the sun to climb to the summit of Mount Sonder and watch the spectacular sunrise 😍
The mountain is known traditionally as Rwetyepme – in local Arrernte culture she’s portrayed as a pregnant woman forever doomed to lay on her back and watch the sky.
It’s an experience we’ll definitely never forget, so challenging but so worth the end result!

Larapinta Day 4 / Trek Day 2! 💪
On Monday, the second day of our Trek, we weaved our way from the Finke River to Ormiston Gorge through rolling limestone hills filled with unique plant life 🌿
The Finke is one of the oldest river systems in the world, and the local Arrernte name for this waterway gives the whole trail its name – Lhere Pinte (Larapinta), which means ‘salty river’.
Check out the beautiful scenery in our Day 4 recap above 🏜

Larapinta Day 3: Our first day of hiking 🙌
We’re finally back with reception and able to share everything we got up to on our four day trek across the Larapinta Trail! 🥾
On Sunday, we began our adventure walking 10km from Geoff Moss Bridge to Wallaby Gap.
We took in the beautiful land of the Arrente people, vast stretches of caterpillar rock formations, Australian flora and fauna, and vibrant red dirt.
We then settled into our campsite for the next three nights days, amongst the luminescent red rocks of Glen Helen Gorge 😍
What a week it was, and we can’t wait to show you more!
