Before you start reading this blog I must apologise for the Ayres Rock photo spam. And I've only posted a few of what I have taken but I couldn't help it. This bit (a big bit) of rock in the middle of nowhere has such a magnetic attraction. i just couldn't stop looking at it.
And I do know of some people who on their way to Uluru took photos of Mount Franklin thinking that was Uluru. What dopes....
But before we get to Uluru we drove to Kings Canyon. It was a hard drive as we couldn't take the short cut (which was xxxkm shorter) but it was too rough and you can't take a caravan. Man, I was so tempted. I was tempted to risk it; Matt however wanted to take the safer, conservative approach.

We arrived at Kings Canyon with the dingoes roaming the caravan park. They seemed friendly enough but did eat one of my Tupperware containers (will that be covered under their lifetime guarantee?? Dingo proof) that was full of m and m's. That afternoon we arrived we went and did the Kings Creek walk (2km return), we went to sunset drinks and that night after dinner we walked over to the bar to listen to a few songs.
The next morning we got up early and left by 7am to do the Kings Canyon rim walk. It's a 3-4, 6km walk. On hot days the walk closes by 8am. I can u der stand why. There is no shelter and you are open to all elements - wind and sun. The walk was fantastic (9/10) actually it was my most favourite walk that didn't finish with a water hole. It took us 2:15mins and the last few km we stormed it home. There were parts where you didn't want to look down. The first part was pretty tough and steep and while the remainder was up and down it was relatively easy.
