the red cliffs


fabulous to walk out there and see the dimensions the distances and the blue skies

views


unbelievable views on the walk
around the canyon are stunning.
The cliffs are very deep and it is quite scary seeing walkers pose
right on the edge of anhuge
drop for the camera

in spring many flowers are covering the valleys


the valleys are covered in many different flowers and the walk into the Kings Canyon is stunning

colourful birds

there are many birds visiting the waterholes,
which are getting smaller and smaller in the dry
season. Flocks of one kind of birds wait in the surrounding trees until it is their turn and descent on the billabong together

camels are often seen


one can see the occasional camels cross the road
