We stayed at Kings Canyon Resort camp ground, (5km from the canyon) were on the 6km 3 hour rim hike by 6.45am, plenty of water in our camel bladders in our back packs - great invention, my water on tap...... armed with our hiking poles, fly nets and enough snacks to feed a small army.
Sun just coming up
Our lunch room for today, see water hose on Derek’s shoulder
After first 20 minutes of rocky stairs onward and upward to reach the top, we hiked through crevices, over ledges, and the spectacular scenery and rock layers changed every few minutes. Fly nets are a must have, not very glamorous though.
A few stair and bridge crossings to get over Kings Creek and the Garden of Eden
The rock formations are called beehives, the colours just amazing
Kings Creek runs through the centre of the canyon, lush and green. Thus was all once under water, and the rocks we walked over were rippled like a beach, also some shell fossils could be found. The rock was sandstone, white inside!
It amazes us how green, and in some places tropical, the centre of Australia is
Bad dingo......back at our campground
