Kings Canyon

The next day we went to King's Canyon, which in many ways was more interesting than Uluru. Also because there is a bit of wind there, the flies aren't so much of a problem. The worst thing about the outback is the flies.

In the middle of the canyon there is a lot of vegetation which was named the Garden of Eden by explorers as they were running out of supplies and would have died had they not found it. Some of the vegetation there have survived from way back when Australia was covered by rainforest, before all the water dried up.
