Kings Canyon 19 June 2006

Finished up at a free campsite about 40 km out of Yulara and awoke to see sunrise over a distant Uluru. Set off after breakfast for the 300km trip to Kings Canyon and arrived after lunch. The caravan park has a monopoly with campgrounds in a national park and charge what they like - $13 a person for a non-powered site. Bloke next to us had 2 kids and paid $52!! Fuel wasn’t cheap either, with diesel $1.90 and petrol $1.79!! There were lots of small children and babies running around and having fun. Saw a dingo sniffing around the campfire and thought of the tragic death of Azaria Chamberlain. The dingoes are very keen to get something to eat. They warned us that our shoes would disappear if we left them outside overnight. Not that we would with all the other crawlies around.
