Terrain
With packs
- flat, minimal rock hopping, some ledging, some soft sand. The walk up the Piccaninny Gorge, mainly over pebbles and sand can be quite tiring for many people.
Going beyond our first base camp, done with full packs on some trips, requires some clambering over large rocks and includes edging along at least one narrow ledge.
Daywalks without packs
- most of the day walks involve clambering over large rocks. Some include steep climbs. Some people find this very difficult, even without full packs.
Vegetation
With packs
- minimal vegetation.
Without packs
- some walks include dense sections of sharp and/or sticky spinifex, gaiters essential, long trousers recommended.
4-6 hours per day
You carry food for eight days. There will be a number of day walks where you do not need to carry your full pack.
