Kings Canyon

We sadly left the West MacDonnell Ranges today but drove across the Merenie Loop Dirt Track and came straight to another National Park at Kings Canyon.  Before we set up we did a short creek walk into the magnificent Kings Canyon.  We just missed the start of a free ranger talk, so we joined in to hear a little bit of the area.  The walls of the canyon were very steep and sheer.  After the walk we went back to the caravan to watch a little bit of a movie. 

Today we got up early so we could start our big walk around the rim top of Kings Canyon before it got hot.  We started the steep accent, stopping half way to take a picture.  Once we got to the top, we tried to look over the edge without getting too close to the fragile cliff edges. We looked down a terrifying drop and could only see the canyon floor.  We walked around amazed at the brilliant sites, from the breathtaking cliff faces to the Bungle Bungle-like domes.  We then walked around into the Garden of Eden which was very pretty.  We stood at the top of the sheerest drop and looked out over the kilometres of spectacular views.  It was sad to reach the bottom because we just wanted to see more.  Then we relaxed of the rest of the day.  The only other thing we did was go and visit some camels, we even fed half of them.
