Together we aim to be the first all-abilities team to walk the whole 237km spine of Tjoritja/West
MacDonnell Ranges on the challenging Larapinta Trail. With our various disabilities we know the
complete traverse will take a longer time than others, but we are aiming to complete the trek in
nineteen days (see timeline page).

It was the same team that made the first journey under human-power (able-bodied or disabled
alike) from the lowest point to the highest point in Australia - from Kati Thanda/Lake Eyre to
Targangil/Mount Kosciusko. This cycle journey was 2221km and took 43 days.
The film Lowest To Highest was a hit and screened all over the world winning numerous awards.
You can watch the trailer here - https://rummin.com/lowest-highest/.
We will produce a similar film of this challenge also. We have started a Pozible crowdfunding campaign mainly for some pieces of camera equipment and post-production costs - Watch this space.
The two Pauls are also making a three-part podcast documentary for Disability Voices Tasmania of
the expedition.
Those that wish to will be able to follow us by an interactive ‘Spot Tracker’ on this blog daily.
We will visit Alice Springs schools and talk to students about disability, inclusion and living a life of adventure.
