We spent 2 wonderful days here, camped at a spot with Kings Canyon (which is in the Watarrka National Park), as the backdrop. We bungey strapped Christopher and Riley to ourselves and played Avatar for the next 4 hours doing the Rim walk, which also took us to the depths of the canyon 270 metres down to a waterhole called the Garden of Eden. Poor Jamie twisted his ankle on the last km, so it was a very long K. It was a fantastic scenic walk, ascending, descending, stairs, bridges - so dangerous as well, hence the bungey straps. At the camp ground, there were signs everywhere with the savage face of a dingo on them and the metal gates at the amenities had to always remained closed in case you found a dingo in the toilet I guess!!! They roamed freely around and did not bother us. We met a lovely retired couple from Cleveland, Peter and Suzie and at night we went to a bar/bistro called the Outback BBQ. "The Roadies" a man and a lady, sang, told jokes, got the audience up on stage etc, our boys played pinball machines, pool and a game with big rifles to shoot deer. It's good for accuracy skills I guess! Everyday they are learning something new.
