This was the site we had to see because people said we just mustn't miss it. We had even decided we would go to one of the other gorges which were less touristy – something without helicopters and camel rides. But the recent rain had closed the roads beyond Kings Canyon so it was Kings Canyon or Alice Springs.
After a misty sunrise, we got our first sunny day for a week. So out came all the towels and bedding before driving the 34km to the canyon. We chose the the walk which circumnavigates the canyon. It started off straight up a steep ridge then ambled along the top of the plateau , between the iconic domes. (as featured in Priscilla Queen of the Desert and the Qantas advert.) The formations and the canyon really are striking. The boys and I had a chilly but wonderful swim in Kings Creek at lunch time.
