Join the Larapinta Trek and help ShelterBox Australia create a world where no family goes without shelter after disaster.

On this once-in-a-lifetime adventure, you’ll trek through the Australian outback on one of the most spectacular walking tracks in the world—the Larapinta Trail. 

From the old Alice Springs Telegraph Station to the peak of Mount Sonder, the trail stretches 223 kilometres along the backbone of the West MacDonnell Ranges. Over 5 days, you will journey along the most spectacular and rewarding sections of the trail, trekking over 60 kilometres. You will follow Aboriginal Dreaming tracks and explore the beautiful mountains, valleys, rivers and the dramatic desert landscapes of the Red Centre.

By day, you’ll trek through the ochre-landscapes of the outback, witnessing the sacred sites of the Arrernte people and by night you’ll camp under the stars, falling asleep to the sounds of native wildlife.

Every dollar raised will help families who have lost everything to disaster or crisis.

Disasters can strike anywhere, at any time. Having somewhere dry and warm to sleep, to prepare meals and be with your family is vital for starting the long process of rebuilding your life.

Our signature ShelterBoxes and ShelterKits contain the tools to transform lives and rebuild communities after a disaster or crisis. The funds you raise on this challenge can provide shelter from the elements, clean water to prevent illness, solar light for safety, blankets and ground sheets for protection, tools to repair homes.

ShelterBox prides itself on its ability to respond quickly and in order to do so, we maintain a high level of stock and a continuous pipeline of aid. To achieve this we must have access to funds before a disaster strikes and be able to replenish stocks immediately afterwards. It is for this reason that we cannot raise funds for particular projects, instead, all funds raised will go into our ‘ShelterBox Solution’ fund. This fund allows to be flexible and respond quickly, in the most appropriate manner.

Together we can help rebuild communities after disaster strikes. Join us and help ensure no family goes without shelter following disaster or humanitarian crisis.
