I love the hot pink flowers of the Mountain Hakea, strewn all over the Larapinta Trail. {Arrernte Country} #larapinta #northernterritory #ausoutbacknt #outbackaustralia #redcentrent #larapintatrail #australia_plants #nativeflora #hikingaustralia #australianflowers #australianflora #australian_native_flora$

It was icy up the top and a steep descent awaited us but I could hardly tear myself away from the beauty around me. I love the early mornings on hikes. {Arrernte Country} #larapinta #northernterritory #ausoutbacknt #outbackaustralia #redcentrent #larapintatrail #hikingaustralia #indigenousplaces #sunrise_sunset_photography #sunrise_and_sunsets #desertsunrise #earlymorning$

It doesn't look it but the wind was icy cold on this morning and my fingers felt so stiff from the cold that I could barely take photos. {Arrernte Country} #larapinta #northernterritory #ausoutbacknt #outbackaustralia #redcentrent #larapintatrail #hikingaustralia #indigenousplaces #sunrise_sunset_photography #sunrise_and_sunsets #desertsunrise #earlymorning$

Absolutely magical, another 'one of the best places we camped'! 😁💖 And a rare photo of me (eating dinner) if you swipe left. {Arrernte Country} #larapinta #northernterritory #ausoutbacknt #outbackaustralia #redcentrent #larapintatrail #hikingaustralia #ormistongorge #indigenousplaces #sunsetlovers #sunrise_sunset$

Stunning Ormiston Gorge in late afternoon light.

I've been here a few times now and I never get tired of the amazing gorge, the towering red cliffs, the ghost gums, the freezing cold water ... such a special place.

I loved how peaceful it was by the river, the river red gums lining the watercourse, the reflections, the birds (heard them more than I actually saw them). No one else was camped here that night. 😍 {Arrernte Country} #northernterritory #ausoutbacknt #outbackaustralia #redcentrent #sunrise_sunset #larapintatrail #larapinta #hikingaustralia$

Early morning views from Counts Point, Larapinta Trail, back towards Mount Sonder.

A month ago, we started our epic adventure. We took 16 days to hike the 200+ km trail, and loved every minute of it (ok, two days weren't so fun when the rain just wouldn't stop...)
