This morning we all woke up at 5am as planned ready to leave by 6am. Whilst we were packing up a lady came up to Joanna and said "Don't you have any consideration for other travellers, Poles banging, Zips going. You should have left last night." When Joanna told Neil, he was really angry that the woman had came up to a young person instead of speaking to an adult.

Once again today is another relaxing day. For breakfast we had bacon and eggs on the barbeque, which Terry and Neil cooked. It was really yummy.

At 2:30pm Neil and Melanie went to a didgeridoo workshop in the town centre. Melanie and Joanna had one last swim after she got back fr...

Decided to walk the Kings Canyon today.As Sharon, Neil Melanie and Joanna had walked the canyon back in 2009, and Joanna had very sore feet as a result of the previous walks, they decided that it would be best if she did not walk the canyon, so Sharon and Joanna stayed back at camp.We all found the first bit of the climb a bit hard as it is a steep climb up the ridge to the top of the rim. You then walk along the rim, before walking down into the Garden of Eden,...
