1 Australasia act for kids larapinta trek trip highlights Raise vital funds for Act for Kids Trekking the West MacDonnell Ranges Climb Mount Sonder Exclusive semi permanent wilderness campsites supporting your cause Act for Kids provides professional therapy to children and families who have experienced, or are at risk of child abuse and neglect. All of our services are provided free of charge to clients, while we receive some government funding we rely heavily on donations and fundraising to expand and develop our services to reach out to more children and families in need. Statistics show the need is great 40,571 children suffered from child abuse in Australia in just one year alone. That s almost one child every 13 minutes suffering from neglect or physical, sexual or emotional abuse, often by people they know and should be able to trust. Many of these kids get no professional help whatsoever, and end up with lifelong problems. But a small few find themselves at an Act for Kids centre. Our unique multidisciplinary teams provide intensive therapy, sexual abuse counseling, safe houses in remote Indigenous communities, family coaches and a preschool designed for children with additional development needs due to their experience of abuse and neglect, to ensure we set them up for success at school. Larapinta Charity Challenge will also have an Act for Kids Escort on the trek. This Charity Challenge aims to raise a minimum of $2000 per participant for Act for Kids.

The diversity of trail stages is impressive, at times the trail descends from the ridgeline into narrow canyons where sheltered pockets of delicate fern and twisted gum trees grow from the dry rivers of sand. On other stages we walk to the impressive Simpsons Gap and Standley Chasm or climb Mt Sonder (1380m) a perfect vantage point from where we can trace the entire West MacDonnell Range. fundraising options There are a number of ways you can approach your fundraising: 1.

6 climate In the Centre, the four traditional seasons are more distinct and temperatures are extreme, plummeting below freezing on winter nights (June to August) and soaring to the high 40s (105 F plus!) on summer days (December to January). Trekking on winter days is often pleasant with mild daytime temperatures (15 25C, or F) and light winds. Please make sure that you prepare for the cold evenings on winter treks, there can be frosts most evenings from June August. The shoulder seasons of April May and September are mild with some warmer days. Night frosts are unlikely and daytimes are warm and occasional hot days may require an adjustment to the itinerary (ie: less walking, more swimming!) Rain is not common in the desert but it does rain on occasion, please be prepared for wet and windy conditions on all trips. a typical day The detailed itinerary indicates the walking distances for each day. Some days are easier than others. We move from gorges to ridgelines, and as such there is a reasonable degree of uphill and downhill climbing and the rocky ground can be rugged at times. This adventure is operated solely by World Expeditions. The vehicles we use for transport on our Larapinta Treks are Toyota Landcruisers or Coaster minibuses. We take a maximum of either eight (Landcruiser) or sixteen (Coaster) passengers plus a driver per vehicle. Our vehicles are registered as commercial tourist (passenger carrying) vehicles. We have well equipped camping trailers and large water tanks. Mental preparation for your 6 day trek can not be highlighted enough. Come open minded and ready for a wonderful experience whatever the weather, whoever the group, whatever your preconceived ideas. Your guides will be working to enhance your trek and maximise your safety. Each day will start with a hot drink call from your guides. They will then prepare breakfast, whilst you prepare for the day and pack up all your equipment. After breakfast the guides finish their last minute packing and you set off for the day s walk. Each day is different but usually the morning walk is 3 4 hours with numerous snack, photo and water breaks along the way. A leisurely lunch is served and a chance to put your feet up and simply take in the magnificent scenery. The afternoon walk is usually shorter then the morning walk getting us to camp with plenty of daylight and time for exploring, relaxing or just enjoying a welcome hot drink and a chat. A hot dinner and dessert is served around 7pm with time to tell a few stories and hear a brief on the following day s activities. accommodation on the trip During the trip you camp in exclusive semi permanent wilderness campsites. Nestled amongst the hills these campsites offer a relaxing and comfortable stay in remote locations. There are two campsites, Nick s Camp is near Simpsons Gap and Charlies Camp is in an idyllic spot near Serpentine Chalet. On some days we may walk off the Larapinta Trail and in to camp, or in the morning walk out of camp on to the next stage of the trail. On other days we may have a short transfer to the trail head in off road support vehicles allowing us to select the best sections of the trail. 6 Australian World Expeditions Pty Limited - Fiona Windon 9/30/ :18:05 AM

7 The semi permanent campsites are fully set up, so there is no need to worry about setting up or packing up tents. Each site offers a large lounge / dining / kitchen tent that offers a comfortable place to relax at the end of the trekking day. The unique designe also means its the perfect shady spot to relax on a sunny afternoon. Individual tents are 2.4m x 2.4m x 2.1m, offering plenty of room for two people and gear. The inner tent has mesh walls so it is easy to remove the fly sleep under the stars. The sturdy canvas tents also offer great protection if bad weather threatens. You should keep your luggage in the tent and zipped up at all times, preventing dingos from taking shoes and other items. The toilet facilities are clean, airy and comfortable. All toilet waste goes in to a composting tank, ensuring the environment is protected. With solar lighting and eco grey water treatment, this unique toilet is both the most sustainable and pleasant facility in the West MacDonnell Ranges. There are exclusive bush hot shower facilities, with the arid environment and no running water these exclusive showers both minimise water use and provide a hot and enjoyable wash at the end of a long day on the trail. The showers are based on a bucket that provides a few minutes of flow of hot water. Hot water is heated in a outback wood fired water heater and will be provided in strictly limited quantities. All water is town water brought in by tanker as there are no suitable local water sources in the arid ranges. You will be sleeping on a stretcher bed in a swag. The stretcher beds raise you 40 centimetres off the ground and offer a firm, flat base for the comfy swag mattress. The swag is a 5cm (3 inch) thick foam mattress inside a canvas cover. You will be provided with a cotton fitted sheet, pillow and pillowcase, you will keep these for the entire trip and return them on the final morning. You roll you sleeping bag out on the swag. You can drag the swag outside the tent and sleep under the stars if you are looking for that real outback experience. You should leave your swag secured inside the tent during the day. You will be experiencing the Territorian style of camping, so your participation will be appreciated. The guides will prepare all the meals and run the camp, however you will be asked to contribute by rolling your own swags. Participation around the camp will make for a more enjoyable experience for everybody. Sleeping bags are essential for warmth. You can bring your own or hire. They are available for hire for $20, so please contact WE reservations staff if you require one. We ask that you provide your own inner sheet if you hire a sleeping bag. Most groups are made up of a mixture of single participants and couples. If you are travelling alone you will share a tent with someone of the same sex. This usually sorts itself out naturally. There are enough tents at each site where single travellers can request a single tent at no additional cost subject to avaialbility. what you carry The Larapinta Trek is a fully supported trek. You will need to carry just a day pack with your water bottles, jacket, camera and other personal items. You should carry at least 3 litres of water each and every day.
