Getting ready for a walk towards the ‘v’ in the Chewings Range that we can see from the cottage, Mary trying her snazzy pink gators out.
Sunday July 9th, we rose early, tea & toast then off to Standley Chasm car park: Gary, Mary & I began our journey on Stage III of the Larapinta Trail, Stage III is classed as some of the steepest and most rugged country in the ranges, we are only walking stage III then diverting off towards Hamilton Downs Youth Camp. The 1st hill wasn’t too bad, little steep with great views, the track had a few challenges but we pursued it, had a few laughs, probably muttered a few things under our breath & kept going, Gary was our trail blazer and did a great job.
Yea – new pink gators….lets go walking
On the way.
