The South Wall : Kings Canyon
This was taken during the Rim Walk upon reaching the top of the Canyon. Below, in the Kings Canyon ravine are large fallen rock slabs. The South Wall, a steep vertical cliff about 100 metres high, looks beautiful in the warm Spring morning light.
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.
From the Visitor Centre, a steep climb at the beginning of the walk, which locals call "Heartbreak Hill" (or "Heart Attack Hill", due to its steepness), takes visitors up to the top, with views of the gorge below and of the surrounding landscape. About half way during the walk, a detour descends to the Garden of Eden, a permanent waterhole surrounded by plant life. The last half of the walk passes through a maze of weathered sandstone domes, reminiscent of the Bungle Bungle. A slow descent brings the visitor back to the starting point. (Wikipedia) (Wikipedia)
