The hidden Garden of Eden : Summer morning . . .
This image is included in a gallery "PANORAMI E LUOGHI. LANDSCAPES AND SITE" curated by maurosnaier.
Garden of Eden is a permanent waterhole which brings abundant life to the area; the lush greenery of which casts a stark contrast against the brick red sandstone rock formations. There are approximately 500 “steps” to be surmounted to get to the top of Kings Canyon, where the Rim Walk starts :- a 6 km circuit through ancient arid ‘bee-hive’ rock formations around the top of the Canyon – and then down into the contrasting hidden Garden of Eden - aptly named because of its lush vegetation.
Kings Canyon is a canyon in the Northern Territory of Australia located at the western end of the George Gill Range about 323 km southwest of Alice Springs and about 1,316 km south of Darwin within the Watarrka National Park.
At the time of visit, there was not a lot of water there. The red brown colour of the water was actually a reflection off the cliff wall. It was not advisable to swim there because the bacterial count of E. coli was reported to be high.
