Kings Canyon "Garden of Eden"

This section of the trip involved walking into a waterhole area.
This section was hidden deep in the canyon and was home to many ghost gums and cycads (fern like plants that originated from the dinosaur age).
Many waterholes in the NT are deep (10 meters plus) and once filled with water survive many dry seasons. Indigenous people would never swim in these places as the fresh drinking water was too important to them.
The walk into the gorge was via a series of steps and and gangways attached to the rock face. The policy within all of the parks is that you carry out everything that you carry in although there are toilets at the start of each park and an excellent safety video that the guides ask you to watch before starting the trek.Baca lagi
