LARAPINTA TRAIL

Hiking

Hikers from all over the world come here to hike the Larapinta Trail, a 223 km trek divided into 12 sections through the West Macs, with breathtaking scenery, beautiful gorges to enjoy cool dips and starry nights. You're guaranteed to see wildlife, including some of the rarest birds in the dry zone. A wonderful way to visit the majestic West Macs. Some sections can be done separately, such as from Standley Chasm (section 4), Ormiston Gorge (section 12), and the final section to Mount Sonder. Although not the most spectacular, the first section from Telegraph Station is relatively easy to do, either on foot or by bike.

Practical. The entire route takes 10 to 20 days and requires experience and preparation, including getting food delivered along the way and having enough water. It is highly recommended to hike with an emergency signaling tool (satellite phone, EPIRB, or other). You can arrange rental and supplies with several operators in Alice Springs, including Larapinta Trail Trek Support who offer packages with everything you need (www.treksupport.com.au) or Outback Elite Tours who can help with transfers and supplies (www.outbackelitetours.com). Several operators also accompany you on the trail, offering different levels of comfort (for example World Expeditions, Trek Larapinta or Walking Country).

GILES TRACK

Hiking

A 22 km one-way hike, for experienced hikers, from Kings Canyon to Kathleen Springs. Count 2 days, so camping. For the record, a 22 year old French woman got lost during 2 days in 2007. She was found by helicopter thanks to giant inscriptions on the ground. Fortunately, she had taken care to declare her departure to the rangers and was carrying the necessary supplies to survive. Beautiful camping area at Reedy Creek (8 km from the start) with a small lake to cool off. Possibility of a day hike from Lilla car park.

It was designed by the legendary golfer Peter Thomson in the 80's. 18 holes, with a magnificent view of the MacDonnell Ranges in the background. In addition to golf, you can try your hand at lawn bowls, that mix of bowling and curling (but without the broom) that Australians love. It is necessary to book in advance to avoid disappointment. Make sure you say it's your first time to get the explanations. The restaurant ( pub style food) also offers great views.
