BIG Walk!! I mean BIG. Today we walked Kings Canyon, 5.5 km. First we walked up the very steep rock stairs. Then you supposedly walked the middle of two canyons only really seeing the one to the left. We diverted off to the right and walked into Cotterill’s Lookout, climbing up the lookout and looking down the canyon. It was a little steep to come down and just at the base we met a lovely French girl, who was out in Australia for 6 weeks. She had already covered Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide and after Kings Canyon she was heading to Darwin. We sat in the shade of the left side of the canyon and ate some lunch. Travelling along and crossing the bridge, we meandered down to Eden’s garden, finishing the rim walk and heading down a well maintained path back to the car park, taking 3.7 hours. Getting back to our camp, we all went swimming.
This was our first challenge on the Kings Canyon walk... the stairs to the top of the canyon!
The steps are hard work, but the view from the top is amazing.
The little white things near my left arm are the buses in the car park!
Some of the rocks look like they might fall at any moment, so Matilda and I thought we'd give them some help to stay where they are.
Taking a rest after some hard climbing and walking
Yes, the edge of the cliff is very close!
Wow, Matilda and Sarah, your photos are just amazing! My son recently drove across the Nullabor and couldn’t believe how big Australia is. Your photos have captured a little of the size of our beautiful country…it looks like you’re having a fantastic trip so far, although the petrol sounds expensive. Mrs Rout
