We are all very impressed with our campsite at Kings Canyon. It si clean, spacious and we have 'luxury' tents with proper beds and sprung mattresses. There's even electricity, a lamp and a fan. It doesn't take much to impress us these days! The air is cool for the first time and most of us get a good night's sleep, snug under our duvets. Yes, proper duvets are also included.
That's good because we have a good hike in front of us today, and despite leaving early (again!), it's already hot and sunny, when we set off. It's a steep climb to the cliff top around the canyon, but we stop frequently to admire the stunning views as we climb. The lads are in their element, clambering over rocks and peering down 100m drops from the cliff overhangs into the lush valley below. As we make our way around the the horseshoe we have to descend steps down the cliff into the secret 'Garden of Eden'. A small brook with a splash pool at the end is where we stop for a break in the shade to enjoy the peace and cool before carrying on back to the bus and on to Uluru aka Ayers Rock.
