Having visited the West MacDonnell Ranges a few times before, the great Mount Giles was an unfulfilled destination.
It is the third highest peak in the Northern Territory and promised a grand outlook over a very wild country. So it was a great factor in accepting an invitation to a remote walk in the area with someone very familiar with the place. It was a very warm August day when we headed out, first through some burnt country and then off track across a typically rocky landscape.
The sight of Giles ahead caused two reactions - a thrill that I might actually get there, and the relief of knowing that there was water in them thar hills.
We were definitely getting away from it all.
