The Adventures of Catherine, Queen Of The Dessert

Today was a very exciting day for me as we were going to Watarrka National Park (Kings Canyon). We got up early and met by the car at 7am to start the 300km drive to Kings Canyon.

When we got there, we got prepared and looked at the maps of the trails. There were two to choose from. The first was a short (one hour) hike called the Kings Creek Walk and the second was a long (four hour) hike called the Canyon Walk…this was the one I was interested in.

It started out with quite a strenuous uphill hike which was a bit of a killer…but we were able to take our time which was nice.

Once we got to the top of the Canyon the walk was pretty easy. The 350 million-year-old canyon shelters a permanent rock pool, aptly named the Garden of Eden and lots of the visitors were going for a swim in there.

When the walk ended, we just drove back to the Lodge…we were truly exhausted…but it was worth it.
