Day 31: Hello Kings Canyon

Today was the day that we were going to Kings Canyon, the largest canyon in Australia. We got up that morning and dad went to the resort to pick up our German Friends. When he got back, mum and I had gotten everything to head out to Kings Canyon. We got into the car and drove almost 200km non-stop to one of the most beautiful things you could ever see. When we got to the Kings Creek Station, our original stop for 2 nights, we were told that it was the same as Curtin Springs, but it wasn't. It was so expencive it wasn't funny, so we kept going till we reached the Kings Canyon Resort. When we got to the resort, we went to find out how much it was for the night, it was alot cheaper than Kings Creek Station. We went to our spot and unpacked, Dirk and Andrew got their tent set up. After we'd gotten unpacked we went to Kings Canyon to find out what walks we could do that day, the shortest one was 1 hour, so we decide to do that one and leave the Rim Walk for the next day. The walk was right on the riverbank of the river in the canyon. We got to the end which was a lookout looking up at the canyon. We admired the view for a little while before turning back and heading for home. When we got back, mum got dinner ready while us boys played Uno, I won. We had dinner then our German friends decide to hit the hay. We watched a movie before our heads hit the pillows.
