Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko Alice Springs he rohe maroke kei waenganui o Ahitereiria, e 1500km te tawhiti mai i te takutai tata. Kāore pea he ngaru hei hopu mā ngā tāngata o te rohe, engari kua taea e rātau te whakaiti i tō rātau matewai mō te ngaru mā tētahi whakangahau pōhara, pōhara hoki. Ko ngā whakaahua whakamiharo a GoPro e whakaatu ana i tētahi rōpū o ngā rākau rangatahi e toia ana i runga i ngā papa ngaru mai i ngā uta i runga i ngā wai paru o Ilparpa claypans, i te tonga o Alice Springs. Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. E whakaatu ana te riipene ataata i nga larrikens taiohi e toia ana i runga i nga papa ngaru mai i nga utes i runga i nga wai paru o Ilparpa claypans. Ko tētahi o ngā tāngata i muri i te ataata, ko Philip Drummond, i mea i whakaaweawe ōna hoa i muri i te haere ki tētahi pōti huritau 21 i te Gold Coast. <unk>I ahuareka mātou ki te ngaru ngaru ki reira, kātahi ka kawea mai e mātou ētahi papa ngaru ki te kāinga, ā, ka kawea ki raro ki ngā ipu paru,' ka mea ia. 'Kāore he nui o tā mātou mōhiotanga ki te ngaru ngaru, engari i ako mātau i a mātau e haere ana.<unk> I muri i ngā tau maha o te whakamātautau me te hapa, kua pai ake te mahi a ngā hoa ki tētahi wāhi i waenganui i te whakaoho me te hīkoi wai. "I tīmata māia mātou i te 15 km i te haora, engari i te wā i whakapūmau i tō mātou maia, ka eke mātau ki te 40 km i te haora", i kī ia. I whakaatahia te riipene ataata i roto i nga ra e wha i waenganui o te tau kua hipa, i te wa e raru ana te Whare Whero i te ua nui. I whakaaweawe te rōpū o ngā hoa i muri i te haere ki te ngaru i tētahi pōwhiri rā whānau 21 i te Gold Coast. Whai muri i ngā tau maha o te mahi, kua pai ake te mahi a te hunga maia ki tētahi wāhi i waenganui i te whakaoho me te hīkoi wai. <unk>He tino pai te pupuri wai o te ipu oneone, engari he torutoru noa iho ngā wā o te tau e nui ai te wai. Me whai hua tātou i te wā e whai wāhitanga ai, e ai ki a Drummond. I kii a Drummond kaore tetahi o ana hoa i whara kino mai i te ngaru ngaru. I te pātai mēnā he ture, ka mea ia he "rohe hina" tēnei.

I hopuhia te pikitia ki Ilparpa claypans, i te tonga o Alice Springs. E whakaatu ana i te rōpū o ngā hoa e taraiwa ana i a rātau i runga i ngā papa ngaru mai i Utes.
