My brother and I spent a crisp winter day hiking to Larapinta Falls, surrounded by towering mountain ash trees that reached skyward like ancient guardians. The cool air was thick with the scent of damp earth and eucalyptus as we made our way through the lush rainforest, the sound of the falls growing louder with each step. Reaching the base of the cascade felt like stepping into another world — wild, green, and humbling in its scale.
