Camino Dreaming

A camino down under and outback

We found our photos from last year's trip to Central Australia and began to dream again of a pilgrimage along the Larapinta trail, which follows a section of the ancient MacDonnell Ranges west of Alice Springs.


It would pass along a special track created by our friends Keith and Xanthan Black Cockatoo. 



Our resting place on Day 1 would be 'Whitegums', a sacred space cared for by Keith and Stella.




We might wake to one of Central Australia's extraordinary sunrises. 
Here's one from Stella and Keith's verandah.


From here we would pass through Honeymoon Gap


and through to Simpson's Gap - formed by erosion of the mountain chain over millennia.


The trail goes for hundreds of kilometres through this ancient and isolated land. It would be a profound spirit journey to share with friends.

Camino Larapinta... who's in??


Buen camino
