Day 17 - 18 Kings Canyon, NT


Kings Canyon caravan park is pretty basic but choose a non-powered site and you can have a great view. Take food with you as a burger at the restaurant is $30 and a six pack of beer $42! They did set up a cute bar on beer barrels at the lookout (walking distance from the caravan park), to watch the sunset.

We did the fantastic rim walk around the top of Kings Canyon which took 3-4 hours. What a spectacular view. The terrain was varied and rocky which proved to be too much for one teenager who passed us by in a banana lounge (i.e stretcher). Not sure how the medics got her down the steep rocky steps to the car park. We were joined by a lovely family from Newcastle also on tour. This is our favourite walk of the trip so far.

Watch out for dingoes at the caravan park, they don't steel babies just our left over chicken and chip bag from Yulara. Kids decided to build a dingo trap - it eventually had sticks and some camouflage. I doubt it will work- but their ingenuity kept them out of trouble for awhile.
