Red Centre Series: Kings Canyon

Welcome to Kings Canyon, situated within the Watarrka National Park, and is a huge canyon 270m high. This was my first stop during a 3 day tour of the outback, which left from Alice Springs, involving lots of hiking, camping, red rocks, more green than is usual for this time of year. When arriving in Kings canyon you can do the rim walk, or do the creek walk. Due to my general lack of fitness and the fact that it was mid afternoon and 36 degrees, the following photos will talk you for a leisurely stroll along kings creek.

The Canyon





And the Creek (you know, just in case you got them confused)








While relaxing within the lovely bus on the way to our camping destination, we saw some wild horses, or, to be aussie about it, Bush Brumbies, an apparently really rare sight. . .

And finally, lots and lots of SKY. These photos are taken on Halls Creek, a station (or really large farm), which is where we camped. And when I say really large, I kidd you not 1,028,960 Acres of working farm. Its unreal!




Alright, so that was day one, day two up next!
Thanks for reading
