Groovy Grape Rock 2 Water trip

  Kings Canyon, Northern Territory, Australia
Wednesday, October 29, 2008

   We get up at 5.30am this morning to take a hike through Kings Canyon!  We start by climbing up the canyon and i think i am going to die, but then it levels out and i mange to enjoy the rest of the walk.  We walk for about 3 hours, but we are stopping alot because Greg wanted to tell us about the canyon and the aborignal claims on the land.  


The flies are also driving us mad, they keep buzzing in our faces and we have to swat them away.  By the time we get back to the car park it is 11am and boiling, we are so glad we got up early to do the walk it would be hell now!
We arrive back at the camp, have some lunch (which is salad and sandwiches, but a great salad of beans, sweetcorn, aspagus, beetroot, lettuce, tomatos and ham!) and then pile into the bus for our next 3 hour drive to Uluru.

We arrive into Uluru in time for sunset and we watch as the sun sets behind the clouds and ruins the usual red/gold view we should have been seeing.  But we are all happy sitting around with a beer or cider and chatting.  Back to our new camp - which is very similar to last night, swags on the ground and a kitchen undercover, and pasta with Kangaroo Mince for dinner.  I am soo full i can burst!!
