Wednesday 12/09/2012 Day 80: Yulara to Kings Canyon.
Amanda & Les got up early to
watch the sunrise from the Ningarra lookout near the caravan. We managed to
escape the dingos who had been howling since 04:00. The sun took it’s time and
the rocks changed their colours. We spotted a rabbit and dingo. We packed up
and headed off down the Lasseter Hwy towards the Kings Canyon turn-off. We
passed the Mt Conner Lookout Rest Area where they were maintaining the long
drops. We drove northwards and had a driver change at a Rest Area 160km out. Les
took over driving and we passed the large George Gill Range (75km long) on the
Eastern side of the Road. We arrived at the Kings Canyon Resort Campground and
set up. It was 33 degrees C midday. We snoozed till 15:00. We warmed up on the
1hr Kings Creek walk and checked out the Canyon Rim Walk’s details for
tomorrow. We went back to the Caravan Park where Amy & Ryan had a quick dip
in the freezing pool. We watched the sun set on the range and as darkness fell
the Dingo’s came out of the bush and started howling. We are resting and
re-hydrating for tomorrows walk. It is 22 degrees C at 21:00.
