Spectacular kings canyon!

Wed 14th July 2010

It was an easy drive yesterday from Uluru to kings canyon...sealed road and only about 4 hours in the car. It's funny how quickly a drive which we would have considered to be long, seems suddenly quite easy.
The campground here is quieter and nicer than Uluru. There are dingos around, one of them took off with our rubbish bag last night while we were out! We took the kids to the campground pub for some live entertainment...lots of fun for the kids...but we probably won't go back tonight!
The boys helping out with the washing up...



Today we completed the 6km rim walk at kings canyon. A spectacular walk with some strenuous sections, but the most magnificent views over the canyon. The stunning 'garden of Eden' has some huge cyads which are remnants from prehistoric times.















Once again the boys managed really well...the cooler weather has made these walks really enjoyable.
We don't have any phone or Internet coverage (always scary when technology isn't available!) but I'm hoping to use the cafe wifi to upload this today.

Tomorrow we will attempt our first real off road driving along the mereenie loop rd to a beautiful camp at palm valley. There are lots of very muddy cars here which have obviously come from that direction. It hasn't rained for a couple of days, so we're hoping the condition a have improved.
We should be back in touch in a few days time.
