Sat 16 Jul 2011 Yulara to Kings Canyon

See the wild brumbies on the left?

0700 (3789 km) Yet another cloudy, rain threatening day. That means all the days that we have been here has been cloudy and wet. No sunrise and sunset photos. No climb. Had breakfast of toast and packed up. It was really difficult to pack up as there was mud everywhere and we had to wipe everything down as we packed - took a very long time.

1015 (3789 km) Eventually all cleaned and packed and left. Saw wild horses and camel farm. Sun came out - blue skies - yahoo!

1200 (3930 km) Kings Canyon turn off.

1330 (4077 km) Turned off to Kathleen Springs. Had a lovely walk in the sun, even took our jumpers off! Had lunch at Kathleen Springs. It was nice and cool. The water was 'black-as' and had good reflection of the cliffs above.

1500 (4077 km) Left Kathleen Springs.

1530 (4101 km) Check in at Kings Canyon. Cabin 3 and Site 3.

1545 (4101 km) Set up.

1645 (4101 km) Done. Set up was much quicker than packing up this morning.

1730 (4101 km) Had BBQ dinner - yummy sausages and steak. Free BBQ with tables next to the BBQ, really good arrangement.

2000 (4101 km) There were mice everywhere - there is a plague of them in NT. There were even mice in the cabin. There was mice poo on the bed sheets so we had to contact reception to get the sheets changed. Then we saw a mouse run behind the cabin fridge. Managed to shoo 2 mice out and found a dead one. Where is the pied piper when you need him?
