Foot trek record unsupported SIMON Duke, who on April 27-29 with Rohan Rowling successfully set a new record for the unsupported accompanied fastest time on foot on the Larapinta Trail, says both of us just chilling out and recovering with no set plans for anything (regarding) future running. The pair covered the whole 231kms of the Larapinta Trails 12 sections, taking 58hrs and 48 minutes to cover the full distance, which ended up at the Telegraph Station. Simon pointed out this an unsupported accompanied record, meaning we started with a pack with everything we needed for the entire journey weighing around 9kgs at the start with strictly no support from anyone else but ourselves for the entire 231km journey. Rohan is married with four children and works as a teacher in Alice Springs. Simon is married with two children and works in the recreation industry in Alice Springs. He has previously walked the trail over 12 days, completed various marathon distance events and is a melanoma survivor. Warning over stolen poison POLICE are asking pet owners to be on the lookout for symptoms of poisoning after an amount of the harmful chemical Sodium Flouroacetate (commonly known as 1080) was stolen from a pastoralist property near Alice Springs this month. It is alleged unknown offender/s unlawfully entered a locked shed and lockbox and stole the 1080, which is listed as a Schedule 7 Poison (Dangerous Poison). Police said, this means it is a high risk chemical that has restrictions on its use as its use may adversely affect the health of users, the environment and trade. Schedule 7 Poisons have a high potential to cause harm at low exposure and require special precautions during manufacture, handling and use. The schedule 7 chemical is often used to reduce the number of wild dogs in an area.
