I was feeling very, very, small amongst these giant granite boulders. They’re scattered all across the plain, some balanced on top of each other, some split clean in half, but they really are something else up close.
Make sure you stay for sunset as the marbles turn deep red with the evening light, then stay a bit longer, because once it goes dark the sky out here absolutely delivers. Back in August, Karlu Karlu was named an International Dark Sky Sanctuary, the first in the NT and only the third in all of Australia. Standing out there with the Milky Way straight overhead, you understand exactly why it got the tick.
You’ve seen the icons. This one deserves a spot on the list too.

Does work get any better than this?
A week spent shooting in beautiful places with beautiful people. If you’re heading to Central Aus, there is so much to explore beyond the sealed roads - grab yourself a 4wd, a couple of mates and have yourself an adventure.
Very grateful for the @we_are_explorers team for pulling this project together and the whole crew that made this week incredibly fun, ultimately coming home with plenty of epic images.

A few things you can expect from a trip to the Red Centre…🌅
Early morning alarms, a lot of red dirt, spontaneous swims and absolutely no shortage of places to explore!
From winding our way through gorges to tackling 4WD tracks and watching the sun come up over the ranges every morning - I can almost guarantee you’ll finish the trip with a filled camera roll and a list of places you’ll want to revisit.
Not a bad way to spend a holiday, hey?

Shooting astro out here is almost cheating.
In August Karlu Karlu became the NT’s first International Dark Sky Sanctuary, one of only three in Australia.
The boulders are also an awesome foreground subject. Big, round, and very unique, you can find endless compositions sitting under the Milky Way.
If you’ve been meaning to try astro, this is the place to learn. To get here, it is an easy 4-hour drive north of Alice Springs, situated on the eastern side of the Stuart Highway. You can’t miss it.

The heat is on here in the Red Centre which means summer is in full swing with nothing slowing it down. How to deal with it while out and about? Soak yourself in the cool waters of the waterholes around Alice Springs 💦
Pictured: Ellery Creek Big Hole in the West MacDonnell Ranges.
Other spots worth to take a dip in:
West Macs: Ormiston Gorge, Glen Helen, Redbank Gorge (after a good rain)
East Macs: Emily Gap, John Hayes Rockhole

Today’s mission: Hiking section 8 of the Larapinta Trail to reach the top of Counts Point Lookout, let me just say the views were some of the best I’ve ever seen 😮💨

Consider this your sign to add a few more hikes to your Australian bucket list 🥾🌵
I feel like we spend so much time talking about overseas hiking destinations that we sometimes forget how much incredible exploring we can do right here at home.
Central Australia was such a good reminder of that - it’s the kind of place where you can spend an entire day outside and discover somewhere completely new, finishing the day feeling very grateful you made the effort!
Here’s 3 hikes in the West MacDonnell Ranges I’d recommend (but there’s so many more across the Red Centre also worth exploring):
1. Ormiston Pound & Gorge Loop
🥾 9.7km loop
🚙 1.5 hours from Alice Springs
2. Larapinta Trail Section 8
🥾 13km out and back
🚙 1 hour 15 mins from Alice Springs (we started at Serpentine Chalet)
3. Mount Sonder
🥾 14.2km out and back
🚙 1 hour 50 mins from Alice Springs
Save this for your next outback adventure and send it to the friend you'd drag along for an early morning summit!

Red dirt, wild camels, wildflowers and one very spiky little local. 🐪🌼

You don't have to hike the entire 230km Larapinta Trail to experience it 🥾
I'm a big fan of finding different ways to experience iconic multi-day trails and hiking a section of the Larapinta Trail in the Red Centre is a perfect example of this.
There are 12 sections to choose from, so you can pick one that suits your time, experience and how much of a challenge you're after. Just make sure you do your research beforehand, as some sections are definitely more challenging than others!
Here’s exactly what we hiked:
📍Larapinta Trail Section 8 (West MacDonnell Ranges)
🥾 13km out and back
🚙 1 hour 15 mins from Alice Springs (we started at Serpentine Chalet)
I'd never explored this part of the Northern Territory before this trip and it's safe to say the West Macs have given me a very long list of places I want to come back to.
Would you tackle a day hike here or is the full Larapinta trek on your bucket list?
