Sun 17 Jul 2011 Kings Canyon

At the rim of Kings Canyon

0900 (4103 km) Had breakfast of toast. Left for Kings Canyon.

0915 (4113 km) Kings Canyon car park - definitely warming up quickly today. Put on sun block, hats, loaded with water. Checked out information boards and away we went. It was definitely a difficult climb up but it was worth it. It was a magnificent view looking out at the top of the climb. We walked through the "Lost City" and saw lots of domes around forming the "city". Went down to the cool waters of Garden of Eden. It is amazing there is so much water hidden in the desert. Learnt about the geology of how it was all formed. Also saw some really tame Spinifex Pigeons.

1245 (4113 km) Left Kings Canyon.
1300 (4124 km) Kings Canyon Resort. Had pumpkin soup, pea ham, bacon and eggs. Checked out the swimming pool and found the water was freezing. Way too cold to have a swim but the boys tried to go in anyway.
1800 (4124 km) Had salmon mornay for dinner.
