Kings Canyon

---

From Georgina-kids too busy playing so I thought I better take over for now!

Apart for the ridiculous prices of everything (a can of coke $5 and petrol, $2.10 a litre), we loved KIngs Canyon. The caravan park is quite near the bottom of the Canyon. As this sun sets, the view was magnificent. We settled into a much quieter park. It had a very relaxed atmosphere, set amongst grasslands. We were advised by other travellers to put all the shoes in at night because the dingoes like them-didn't see any but they hang around.

We decided to make (and it definitely was make) the kids do the Kings Canyon rim walk the next morning. It was a 6km, 2-3 hr walk up the side of the Canyon (a very steep start) and then a picturesque walk along the rim, down to an oasis known as the Garden of Eden, more climbs and descents but a beautiful scene and well worth it. I have never seen anything like it-the red rock, sheer cliffs and trees growing out of nowhere. This was one of our favourite spots to date.

Fossilised sea ripples on the canyon floor
Sorry, the geographer in me had to add this. The old remains of an inland lake or sea.

HI Guys, you all look as if you really enjoyed the walk. It is an amazing place and the views spectacular. Your photo at sunset is beautiful- the color and the serenity of the place has to be experienced. It is good that you have taken you a few days in this area because you need to have time to take it all in. Keep enjoying!
