King's Canyon

We had a lovely couple of days at King's Canyon. The walk around King's Canyon rim was tough but spectacular, and the easy walks along King's Creek and Kathleen Springs very interesting.

The campground was also interesting - with dingoes wandering all over you had to be careful not to leave anything outside the van they might get into - apparently people have even lost shoes. While they look a lot like cuddly dogs they are most definitely wild animals and needed to be treated with caution. They also spent a lot of the night fighting, howling and doing whatever it is that dingoes do, in as noisy a manner as possible.

When we left to come to Alice Springs we had a bit of an outback wildlife experience, passing on the road in fairly quick succession a dingo, some wild horses (brumbies) and a group of feral camels.
