Join us this year in May, as we venture to the Larapinta Trail in the Northern Territory to support Charity Bounce.

Charity Bounce invite you to walk with them for 2 full days in May 2019 along spectacular sections of the Larapinta Trail in Central Australia (NT) to support Charity Bounce.

The Larapinta Trail is one of Australia’s most spectacular bushwalking and trekking experiences.  The opportunity is organised through our partnership with Larapinta Culture, the regions only locally owned and operated Aboriginal tour company ensuring a deep and rich experience of Central Australia and Indigenous culture.

This is a unique opportunity to raise funds to support Charity Bounce while enjoying a fun, immersive, educational and cultural experience.
