After looking for gas leaks, repairing the water pump switch, changing the pressures in the rear tyres and filling up with fuel @2.26L we finally got on the road about 10:30. It was another cold night about 5 degrees when we woke at sunrise and we are expecting below or about zero tonight.

We drove about 3.5 hours with a short stop off at the Kings Creek Station to enquire and then book a campsite for tonight. Everywhere you go up here you drive long distances and traveling has to be taken into account planning out your adventures.

We arrived at Kings Canyon just before 2PM and had some lunch in the sun out of the cool breeze blowing. Kings Canyon was one of our must do activities and it did not disappoint. This place has mind blowing scenery, the best of the trip so far.

You do a short 2Km return walk down into the gorge to start you off. After you are warmed up you walk up another steep but short hill to traverse around the rim of the gorge on both sides. This walk goes for about 6Km. At a couple of places you descent down stairs and along the side of one cliff right to the heart of the gorge and water hole.

Walking around the rim is just stunning. No barriers just a few signs saying you will die if you get to close to the edge. The reds in the cliff walls are spectacular. Both cameras worked overtime today. You just could not stop taking photos.

We were one of the last people to leave the rim walk getting back to the car abut 6PM just as the sunset show started. We arrived back at Kings Creek Station just as it got dark and set up in the dwindling light as seems to be the case for us every night. Fuel is $2.41L here at the station, the dearest so far, we have a reasonably full tank luckily. We did debate if the fuel at Curtin Springs or here would be cheaper – we made the right decision this time. No idea what we are doing for the next few days as we can do a loop in a couple of different directions.
