• 2 Warm jumpers (Woollen or Polar fleece or down jacket)

Ensure that your boots are well worn in before travelling, blisters have ruined many holidays!

We cannot emphasize enough that runners are inappropriate for the geology of Larapinta Trail. Do not attempt the trail in anything other than good quality boots.

• Duffle bag or soft bag to put all your clothing/gear in – 700mm x 400mm x 400mmm (Please stick to these size dimensions and no suitcases!)
• 3 Litres worth of Water Bottles/Bladders (if you bring a bladder you must also carry a bottle in case the bladder gets punctured). Unbreakable lightweight bottles are recommended.
• Sleeping bag, rated to 3 season or warmer, lightweight down filling is ideal (These are available for hire but must be booked prior to departure)
• Daypack (large enough to carry 3 litres of water, snacks and personal items such as camera)
• Sunglasses
• Head torch and spare batteries (this is essential for climbing Mt Sonder and around the campsite)
• Walking poles (Optional)

Your guides are responsible for all first aid on the trip, but they will have limited supplies to be conserved for emergencies.

You will need to take responsibility for managing any pre-existing medical conditions you may have. Please ensure that you have more than adequate supplies of all your medications.

To assist the guides in managing first-aid issues, please bring with you your own basic supplies:

• Insect repellant
• Small tube of sunscreen
• Lip balm
• Bandaids
• Blister protection- enough to change for each day of your trip
• Headache/pain relief drugs (eg Paracetemol or Ibuprofen)
• Gatorade or equivalent for dehydration and salt replacement
• Motion sickness drug if needed
• Personal medication as required

• Camera with plenty of spare batteries
• Book/Maps
• Binoculars
• Fly net
• Gaiters – if you have sensitive skin these are a good idea as they will stop irritation from the Spinifex grass OR ankle length gaiters/sock protectors

 

• All cooking and eating equipment
• High quality tents and fold out chairs
• Swags with a sheet and pillow

Please advise us of any unusual size requirements needed for supplied gear prior to departure (eg. If you are over 182cm in height you will need an extra large swag). Also please feel free to bring your own equipment if you would prefer instead of using our gear
