Day 17 Kings Canyon 3941 kms
We were so excited yesterday to see the Dingo pack yet here they are wandering around our campground! They call out to each other in the night - a sound we really enjoyed
Kings Canyon today was spectacular as promised. We enjoyed the rim walk after a nice heart starter of 700 steep steps! This place is an absolute “must visit”
Up top desert views roll out to a brilliant blue horizon and sheer cliffs into the Canyon below keep the heart rate up!
Rugged giant beehive domes make the plateau look like a lost city and walking amongst them with no people around makes it a very special place.
The domes were formed from erosion of vertical cracks in the sandstone and
A wooden stairwell took us to the bottom of the canyon where we walked along a mysterious pathway to a waterhole reflecting the walls of the gorge. There were many birds including ducks in “The Garden of Eden” where “secret men’s business” took place many years ago. Sacred to the Luritja people of this land.
Sundowners back at camp watching the sun set with a myriad of birds from swallows chasing insects, zebra finches, red tailed black cockatoos cawing in a dead tree and a lone peregrine falcon on the hunt for a desert mouse.
