2023: What a year it's been! It's been one full of adventure, wild places, and amazing people.

Day 5 of the Larapinta Signature Walk is a real highlight of the track, as we climb to the peak of Rwetyempe/Mount Sonder. This morning is an early start. The first hour of walking is in the pre-dawn and we watch the country waking up. We wind steadily uphill for 3km through the shadows of Eucalypt and Acacia. The early start is easily worth it as we gain a saddle to watch the sunrise.
From the saddle, the incline continues, steady yet unrelenting through the morning. The landscape continues to expand and when you reach the summit and are greeted with some of the most spectacular views in Tjoritja / The West MacDonnells. It is a truly stunning vantage of Central Australia.
