The girls did an aboriginal art painting class at the Sails in the Desert resort before we headed off. I bought two Aboriginal paintings at Uluru, done by an artist from Docker River near the WA border. I saw them being painted the first day we went to town, which makes them a bit more special.
Justin decided to avoid a camel on the drive, I'm wondering if it is safer to drive at dusk as a kangaroo might do less damage. A camel's torso would directly hit the windscreen if we were to hit one, their legs are that long.
We arrived at Kings Canyon Resort at a very reasonable time as it was only 229 km away. Thank you Phoebe for the maths.
The temperature was perfect this afternoon and our campsite is very pleasant. I certainly took advantage of the lazy afternoon.
Tomorrow we will take a hike through the canyon and check out the view at sunset. It seems to improve a lot of views in Central Australia.
Justin's Terminal Breakdown Register: Currently stands at 3.
A Holden Rodeo, Jeep Cherokee and a Nissan Patrol.

ReplyDeleteSeems like a nice easy day. You probably need it Justin after the effort of the two earlier days. Cath, so where are the paintings going?
I did not get the reference to the terminal breakdown register.
Hello Rod, Justin here. I guess the paintings will go on a wall! The terminal breakdown register refers to the vehicles we have witnessed being towed away, their owners watching on with sad looks.
