We got back home on Friday night, then spent Saturday shivering through rain and hail. It rained again today (Sunday), the most rain Melbourne has had in 25 years - half the monthly average rainfall just today.  What a let-down from the weather up north!
Here are some photos from Kings Canyon. We did a 6km walk, which took over 3 hours, but we loved it! Again, I must apologise for the size of the photos. I STILL can't seem to make them smaller...
1. The first bit is the steepest - that's me climbing (the last person  .
2. Some interesting rock formations have resulted from erosion.
3. "A dead sea's ripples" - evidence of once shallow lakes in Watarrka, millions of years ago.
4. The Canyon wall, also close-ups.
5. I love the colours.
6. Bonnie looking at one edge of the Canyon, from the car park (I perched her cage on a fence post  )!
OK - Sorry if there are too many photos...I got a bit enthusiastic.  |

Enjoyed the photos - thanks for posting. Weather has been good in Sydney - sunny days but very cold. Had a massive thunderstorm last night. Central Australia is a great place to go in Winter  |

This area reminds me (from the pics) a lot of Sedona, Arizona and the Red Rock formations

It does look beautiful there! Kind of a cross of Sedona and Monument Valley in some photos. I don't know why you're apologizing for the photo size. They are perfectly sized on my iPad. Do they display differently on other machines? |

Sedona, Monument Valley, and Bryce (the rounded formations remind me of Bryce) and Zion Canyons. Yes, indeed!

Thanks guys - I didn't know these photos look like places in the U.S. I have so many photos it was hard to choose which ones to post! Easttex, every photo I put on is always really big & I can't seem to control the size. But I'm glad they're suitable for iPad at least.
