Oz - Kings Canyon

The roadtrip down to Kings Canyon and the road is so damn hot the mirages seem close enough to touch...

Table top rock...

More tornado things...

We get to Kings Canyon and face the tough choice of setting out in the searing heat of late afternoon, and risking not returning before dusk when it's extremely dangerous to navigate the canyon. Or getting up early again the next morning...

After the initial climb the views from the top are breathtaking...

The canyon is full of these spooky looking grey twisted dead trees above, with the ground a bizarre fossilised seabed below...

I find an oasis on the canyon floor and dive in to cool off, the water's so dark and slimy that I can't see 1 foot down!...

Another one of them there giant bunny things, we chase Skippy for a while who kindly shows us the way out, which was apparently supposed to be the way in, with signs warning you not to approach the edge of the canyon as the sides regularly break away... Doh!...
