An early start this morning as the temperature was expected to reach 31 deg. so it is essential to leave early for walks. Equipped with water and the all important walking shoes, we faced the first part of the Kings Canyon Rim Walk, a 400 (approx.) rock step straight up onto the top of the canyon before the path winds its way through the unusual shapes until you reach the canyon....steps down and up to reach the other side. It is called the Garden of Eden as palm trees grow around the permanent water. It is truly a beautiful walk and seeing it from the air, although good as you get the overall perspective, cannot compare with seeing it on the walk. We must be getting fitter with all the walking as no-one suffered from stiff muscles the next day. Welcome to the blog John and Joan and Helen the Sturt Desert Pea is really lovely...the black dot is really a dark plum colour. The photo was taken in Alice as they are on the highway verges, (planted) but we have also seen many driving along in the wild. The lady that does some entertainment at the park drives around drumming up business so we went along...a bit of fun!! The photos are hard to choose for the blog but one is of the wall and others show views on top and the last the hill at the beginning...you can see a dot which is a person walking up.
