On the road
again! Off to Kings Canyon today. Couple of stops along the way – one at the
Finke River & another at a lookout over Mt. Connor which was a pretty
speccy view. Going along the Lassiter Highway towards Yulara the scenery began
to get a bit sparse. However the road into Kings Canyon was very pretty with
rolling hills & the last part going along the range. Set up camp at the
resort in time to get a walk in the canyon before tea. Good walk along Kings
Creek into the canyon. Great views of the canyon’s walls which are very
dramatic. Back at camp go for a sunset view of the range – the George Gill
Range. On return to camp see a couple of dingoes wandering through the place.
Tues. 11/9.
Tackle the big walk today around the rim of
Kings Canyon (about 6km.). Begins with a steep climb to reach the top of the
canyon with some spectacular views over the plain below. Amazed at the
beehive/dome formations on the top.There are so
many of them & you get to walk all around. Walk takes you to a few scary
lookouts over the canyon with sheer drops to the valley floor. Very scenic
though! Carry on to the Garden of Eden – a beautiful little creek valley with
its own unique vegetation. A series of ladders & walkways leads you to the end
where there is a waterhole at the bottom of a waterfall (not flowing) which then drops down into the
canyon below. Back to the walk which continues to impress with all the dome
formations & speccy lookouts. Finally go along the outside of the canyon &
back down to the car park. A fantastic
walk with continual spectacular views!!
