Sunday 5 November 2006 - Kings Canyon to Alice Springs Another early morning to walk the 4 hour Kings Canyon walk starting off with Heart Attack Hill! Dan's preparation talk included 'Be Careful lots of people have died on this walk!' Made it to the top without losing anyone then walked through the sandstone dunes of the Lost City. Stopped halfway to swim in the Garden of Eden - a 'lush oasis', freezing cold but very refreshing! At a high point the group army crawled on elbows and knees to the edge to peer over. That and a bit of knowledge from Dan and questions from Vicki took us to the end of the walk. Back to the campsite for lunch, Dan finally catching his lizard then a chance for us to ride the camels. Stan the camel took a very scared Rita at the front and a howling Ellie at the back for a walk around the paddock. Gemma and Rich far too closely behind, their camel taking a liking to Ellie's bottom making the strangest noises! Long bus journey back to Alice, quick change then back out to meet the group at the outback pub - Town & Country Tavern for dinner and drinks.
Played the drinking/card game spoons in Melankas bar for the rest of the night.
