The Larapinta Trail, 2023 |
 Day 5 (Tuesday, 2 May 2023) – Section 12 of the Larapinta Trail (i.e., climbing Mt Sonder): Looking nor-nor-east at what is really the true summit of Rutjipma / Mount Sonder. It’s 1,380 metres above sea-level, but only members of the Western Aranda (or Arrernte) Aboriginal nation may ascend it. The summit we were on – i.e., the highest point on the Larapinta Trail – is only a few metres lower the mountain’s sacred summit. |
