We got up early to do the 7 km walk around the rim of Kings Canyon. It was a hot day so we used our camel backs for the first time.

It was a very steep start, but worth it. Sheer cliff drops more than 270m to the canyon floor. The walk lead us around the rim, then into the gorge where there was an oasis called the Garden of Eden. It amazes me how there is so much lush vegetation in the middle of the desert. There were a few people swimming in the swimming hole.

We felt pretty good after the walk, so knocked back a few beers. We bought some overpriced goods from the store and cooked up a nice meal of steak, mashed potato and a side of flies (not a misprint).

There seemed to be more dingoes than usual at this campsite and they were sniffing around Dory all night. I had nightmares of being cornered by dingoes. In the morning a rather expensive looking leather sandal had appeared at our campsite. Later on in the morning, its owner (a rather scrawny dingo) came to collect it.
