- In August 2021 I solo hiked the Larapinta Trail in the Northern Territory over 13 days. The hiking trail runs from Alice Springs to Redbank Gorge and is 230km in distance. Most people take 11-15 days to complete the trail and it is often considered one of the best hiking trails in the world.

Josh - watching your video was a very special, nostalgic and emotional time for me. Your cinematography and production are outstanding, ability to captivate and tell a story without dialogue - wonderful. Thank you so much mate. Having been born in Alice and grown up on settlements not far from there, I did have a lump in my throat as I rememberd the many times my mum and dad would take me and my sister to those beautiful locations. Now mum and dad are in their later years and will probably never return. Perhaps I'll do something of a pilgrimage and walk Larapinta as you have done and bring them there in spirit. In any case - big thanks for the huge effort you've put into this stunning piece. Cheers from Sydney - Dave
Great choice of music and cinematography, beautiful and emotive. Im inspired to do this trail! What an experience, thanks for sharing.
Mate, I love this video. Felt like I was right there with you (without the hard slog!). I am so inspired now I am making arrangements for in 2 years time.
Your commitment to your production is unparalleled. When I think of how many extra miles you walked to strategically position the camera and catch just the right angles to tell the story, I have the greatest respect. Also love the sound mixing. Great sound track, but just the right volume to allow the back ground noises like the crunching of gravel.
I have also watched your 3 Capes walk.
Loving your channel.
Greatest respect!
nice Hiking 230km Solo in Australia ..beautiful scenery
A drone gives amazing perspective
Loved the wine and cheese section. What a payoff!
Captivating footage mate. Superbly presented the beauty of our country. Huge respect to you. Thank you for sharing.
This is amazing!! Well done and thank you
So beautifully produced that was a pleasure to watch.
Man I can’t tell you how long I have been waiting for a quality video of the LT! You nailed it. It’s work like this that I show my daughter to inspire her to get outdoors.
While the rest of us are in lockdown you’re out there showing what is waiting for everyone when this is all over. You’re doing a service to everyone who is doing it tough right now.
Good on you Josh…keep up the great work mate.
Cheers mate, feeling for you all of you in lockdowns. We’ve definitely been lucky here in the West with limited cases. Plenty more hikes to knock out in the future, hopefully you’ll enjoy those too!
So so inspiring, thank you!
Such a great job 👏
Thank You for sharing your experience, you certainly took all of us with You. Inspiring and Amazing. Australia is such a beautiful country indeed and you capture it so beautifully❤.

A masterpiece Josh, you captured the essence of the trail perfectly. Well done.
Captivating scenery!
Absolutely amazing visit the himalayan mountains
Hi Josh, I really enjoy your videos. Such a commitment doing the hikes let alone the filming and editing. Just wanted to say thank you for taking the time.
Fantastic video Josh!! Brought back memories of the Larapinta Trail which I completed in June 2021, just before your walk. It was much colder then. I liked it that you didn't give a running commentary and instead chose a gentle piano accompaniment. The walk was such a personal experience and a rare opportunity to enjoy some quiet reflection. Watching your video reminded me of how precious this time was.
12:17 🤩 just a beautiful spot. You did such a great job of capturing it.
Loved it - great achievement ❤
Fantastic Josh.
All the best.
Clive.
🤠
Fantastic video.. your filming is so beautiful.
And it’s like you walked twice as far to set up all the shots so perfectly, what an effort! Much appreciated
This is a stunningly beautiful video and I love the nature sounds but also the lovely music as well. I so enjoyed it, Thankyou!
Outstanding Josh!
Superb storytelling with the cameras. Capturing the vastness down to insect detail. Inspiring Josh!
Oh what beautiful footage this was a pleasure to watch
Great film! Beautiful trail. Gotta put that on my bucket list.
Absolutely beautiful👍👍👍an interesting and stunning looking place, thanks for the videos😄,best regards Up'n'Down-Traveling
Thank you Josh I really appreciate the non chatty video, with music that is not intrusive, so that we can appreciate what you are sharing with us.
i'm 3 1/2mins in and hooked! i appreciate so much your style and this gives me huge Kraig Adams vibes. amazing work both HIKE, filming and experience.
Just WOW
Inspirational, beautiful, professionally edited. Congratulations 🥾⛺🏞🇦🇺
I’m looking forward to doing this also. Thanks for your beautiful video
Great place and a beautiful effort SIR! 🙏
What a masterpiece!
Bloody good compilation Josh. Very impressive. You have a gift. 👍
Thank you so much Ken, you have totally captured the experience for me. I love your down to earth commentary and great photography. It was such a privilege to walk the Larapinta Trail and I am glad we crossed paths at the end. Caroline/Jennie
Stunning mate, in lockdown and this has made my night
Amazing what a drone shows.
This is seriously underrated so beautiful
Loved the sounds
I remember 😃
Josh.. Mate.. Beautiful video man 🤙 I didn't think I could enjoy watching a man walking around as much as I did in this video. Keep up the great work my dude 👍
Absolutely awesome photography…. Wonderful documentation of what the hike
looks like..Thank you so much for this x
Thanks Sharon!
Bravo Josh, the aerial views are fantastic. Many thanks from France
Thanks for putting this together, very well shot and edited. Heading up there in three months to do the walk ourselves, your video gives us an insight into what we can expect. Thanks.
Glad to hear Steve, hope you enjoy!
Wow! Just completed some time in Alice and hiked various portions of the Larapinta, but not the entire trail. You captured the true tranquility and essence of the trail superbly. So great to be able to re-visit the trail in this way. Thanks for all the effort it took to capture this in such a natural way.
That’s a top effort mate 👍🏼
My first of your videos. Awesome footage!
Awesome! Great work.
Hey Josh, mate, that’s a great advertisement for anyone wanting to do this walk! Will be adding this to the bucket list. Quality work on the video.
very peaceful videos you make.
My man! The editing, sound and zero jump cuts made this really special. Planning the LT for next year I’ll be smashing those affiliate links when I’m ready to buy some more gear 👍
Wow.... Just, wow....
So beautiful.
Simple words don't do the landscape justice. So many moments I caught myself gasping. Truly beautiful.
You've inspired me to pursue this new passion I've found, even more.
Cheers Scott. Welcome aboard the hiking train, it’s never ending once you start haha.
Researching the Larapinta Trail to sketch out an itinerary and this is the best , most helpful and most beautiful of all the vids I have watched . Absolutely incredible job Josh . Top shelf . World class . Congrats and thank you . All the best .
Cheers Greg! If I could add one thing - The only thing I would really change about my hike was if I camped along Razorback Ridge as opposed to Fringe Lily Creek. Counts Point, Brinkley Bluff, Hermits Hideaway and Hilltop View are all must camps in my opinion. Nothing better than waking up to the stunning backdrop of the West Mac’s. Enjoy your hike!
Wow Josh... it's a talent beyond hiking to create something a beautiful as that.
Thanks Lyndall 🙏
Superb effort Josh. You captured the beauty of the landscape, but also the solitude and peace of the walk.
Cheers John appreciate it!
I know it would be hard to take a good picture out there, but your frame composition was amazing, you made what was good scenery, amazing. Thanks for the great video!
Thanks Clayton appreciate it mate
Having done the trail a few years ago, all be it in the other direction, your drone shots gave a whole new perspective. Good work.
Thanks Grahame!
Hej Josh, thank you so much for sharing your Larapinta Trail adventure with us. It is an unique experience to walk the trail - to be part of that unbelieveable nature. That experience i´m sure will make something for ever in you. Something really good - not to buy but to get with your senses and open mind. very well done, cheers mate
Thanks Guenter. You’re certainly not wrong, the trail and memories will stay with me forever. Probably one of the most rewarding things I’ve done
Wow jealous man - what an unreal time to do it. Quietest it will ever be
Very fortunate for some and unfortunate for others. Super glad I managed to knock it out when I did
Great video, nicely put together. I’m hoping to do this hike this year.
You’ll love it Richard, one of the best I’ve done!
Josh, this is epic. Magnificent landscape, stunning filming and the music gives this video a beautiful meditative quality.
Thanks Angelica! 🙏
One of your best mate.
That landscape is amazing and your videography skills are unreal.
You keep showing me places ,I had no idea even existed 👌
Thanks mate. Plenty more places to see, it’s just a matter of finding the time to get there 😅
Very well put together video.
I did the walk in 2016 and it was great. I was surprised by how few people were doing such a spectacular walk but I get the impression it is at last becoming a lot better known - not least due to beautiful videos like this one. I have mixed feelings about that. It is great that more people get to experience the exhilaration of the Larapinta but I hope it doesn't get overrun like some other trails around the world.
I’d heard similar things that prior to the pandemic it was a lot quieter. It seems covid has fast tracked everyone’s desire to experience the outdoors and with that a lot of the premiere trails will have more foot traffic. Limiting the daily amount of people on the trail might be the only way moving forward but that also creates its own problems
Hi Josh. I finally caught up with your larapinta drone video. A beautiful meditation, made very special by the very limited human voice content, including your own (meditative) restraint. I met you on the trail l think on my 3rd or 4th traverse of the great Larapinta trail. Thanks for leaving a reminder of , primarily, the landscape but , secondly, those who walk through it, a humbling experience. Travel well, trusting your well, gratitude, Gregory Norman Beeswax lantern
Paysages envoutants filmés avec beaucoup de poésie et accompagnés d'une musique inspirante . Sobriété dans la narration de ce périple ........j'ai l'impression d'y être et envie de découvrir ces lieux . Merci Josh pour le partage .
Wow man, what a seriously epic trek!
And a wonderful video to go with it :)
I can definitely notice how you're videos have gradually improved over time
Cheers Stephan!
Hey Josh amazing!! 👌 thankyou for sharing. Drone work incredible! What an amazing walk... love it!
Cheers Bec! Just a tad warmer and drier than Tassie 😅
Haha!! Yes..looking forward to longer days and beach weather soon!!
WOW!!! Best video of the Larapinta I've seen. It will be my go-to film when trying to explain to family and friends what the hike was like. I hiked it solo in June from west to east in 14 days and my photos don't do it justice. Your video does! Thank you.
Awesome effort! Found the same with my photos, hard to get a sense of scale of the place in a 2d image. Cheers for watching 😊
Beautiful place..nice video, thanks my friend for sharing
Wow 🤩 stunning
Wasn't sold on Larapinta til I saw this video. Definitely doing it next year.
You’ll love it, not sure whether there’s many trails in Aus that can top this one!
The best capture of what it feels to be out there bloke, NT tourisn should snavel this one up 🙏😊 well done bloke👌
Cheers Jason!
Gday Josh,
Absolutely fantastic video mate! Easily your best yet! Can see a lot of Kraigs influence but with your own unique touches!
Some of the drone scenery footage was epic! And the editing was on point!
Love your work mate,
Keep on trekking!
Cheers LM
Cheers! Can’t beat Kraigs vids that for sure
