Woke up hoping to find a bit of sunshine, no such luck. Raced on to Kings Canyon. Despite drizzle occasionally, it was worth it. A lovely climb up the canyon, and walk along the top, dipping down again into another gorge, up the other side. I don't think I can get enough of these gorges. We kept commenting it wasn't as good as Karajini, but it was in a different way. The cloud cover did help, it could have been quite hot otherwise. Checked out the campsite at Kings Canyon, thinking a hot shower might be nice at this stage, but at $19 a site, decided to track back down the road (towards Earnest Giles) and look for a 'free camp'. Pulled off at Salt Creek Rest Area to find a few other campers already there. Oh well, can't always have it to ourselves I suppose. Rain still intermittent. Discovered that when the kitchen back door is up the rain drips through the awning cover, down into the kitchen, bringing with it lots of red dust! Still don't want to go home though. Had a more social dinner under the overhang of Michael's roof topper. I have gained a helper. Rachel and Trevor's daughter, Jamie, loves cooking and is a champion carrot peeler, oh joy Also a very willing 'gofor'. I'm going to make the most of this :)
