It took us roughly 3hr to complete but we saw tropical pools of the Garden of Eden, and the beehive rock formations called the Lost City.
The views from the canyon are also spectacular, overlooking the beautiful landscape. We also saw the Watarrka Cycads, one of 17 relict species that have survived since the dinosaurs roamed the earth.
We decided to camp for the night in the riverbed of Palmer River which was a good 120km from Kings Canyon.
Probably the most physically demanding part of the walk was the initial hike up. But once we got up there... wow.
Breathtaking views like this were all around it.
Evidence of a seabed thousands of years ago.
Natalie and Mick.
Natalie climbing like a monkey.
Larry took this one after accidentally dropping the camera. Thanks once again to Ty and Jen for a drop friendly camera. Larry had trouble looking at the screen and didn't realize that Greg was looking down at the time of the picture.
Another wicked view.
A little Gecko that Greg saw. It is actually very rare for them to come out during the day so it was a cool site to see.
Crazy Natalie and Larry at the ege of reason, as far as Greg was concern. You actually weren't suppose to go out there but hey...
This is what is known as The Lost City. A bee hive time look.
We'll miss him. He was a good bloke that Greg...
Compared to the Grand Canyon, King's Canyon is a site to see.
Watarrka Cycads have been in the area since the times of the dinosaurs.
Larry and Mick decided that we should camp on a riverbed on the Palmer River. Larry joked that if it rained that night we might want to get up quickly and head out. Good times.
Mick found a stick that he used for everything from stoking the fire to playing baseball. He said it could be a back scratcher if needed among other things. We ended up calling it an Aboriginal Army Knife in homage to the swiss army knife.
He is the photo that Mick said we could use to see the artifact on ebay when we get home.
