Watarrka National Park

On Tuesday we drove from Yulara (Ayers Rock/Ularu) through to Kings Canyon, it was overcast when we left and as we got closer to our destination the cloud started to break up, it was so nice to see some blue sky and have the warmth of the sun. That night we had a campfire, the sky was so clear and we have never seen so many stars. KINGS CANYON Wednesday we did the Kings Canyon Rim walk, it was fabulous, very steep to the top of the rim and then it was amazing 3 1/2 hour walk across the top with various rock formations and vegetation. Afterwards we did the tame walk along the canyon creek base.

GARDEN OF EDEN This is a valley within the canyon rim that has lush vegetation including cycads and gums, a real hidden paradise.

ROCK POOL at the top of the rim, in the far distance you can see the other side of the canyon. It is hard to believe that years ago this was an inland sea and that some of the rock formations were actually sand dunes. Today we have driven through to Alice Springs, going to be a busy weekend here as the Finkes desert race is on so lot's of motorbike and cars around.
