Today was the best day. Lots of gorgeous scenery with many different birds and plants.
2.5 hrs of walking on a couple of trails at Kings Canyon, Watarrka National Park.
 |
On our way to Kings Canyon we made a stop and saw these beauties.
They are Spinifex Pigeons
Unlike other pigeons, they live permanently in one area; where there is spinifex grass, rocks and drinking water. |
 |
| Native Fuchsia. Grows 1.5 m high. |
 |
Australian Ringneck.
We were so excited to see this bird. Hard to get a good picture though. |
 |
| Wild purple hibiscus. |
 |
| King's Canyon walk. |
 |
Waiting for Peter to get another soaker like he did in Alaska and Nfld.
He disappointed us all. |
 |
The colors of the trees against the red rock was breathtaking.
Love, love, love it. |
 |
| Face in a tree trunk. |
 |
| First time I saw holly growing in the wild. |
 |
| Yellow-throated Miner |
 |
| Peter is my climbing buddy. If there's something to climb, he's there. |
 |
After we got diesel for 2.19 p/l, we arrived at our campsite.
These beauties were everywhere. Galah. Also known as the Rose-breasted Cockatoo |
 |
We had been told by other campers that the dingos roam freely here.
Just behind our mh, not 10 feet from us, we saw our first dingo. |
 |
| We saw many of them, they just roam through the campground. |
 |
| This sight was quite funny. The man in the background just came out of the shower, saw the dingo and turned around and went right back in. |
 |
| Sunset over Kings Canyon was more beautiful than Uluru. View from our campsite. |
 |
A great day again.
Love to you all Mom & Dad, Grandma & Grandpa, Marcel, Alida, Peter and Immy. |
Wow! If you want to see Nature's beauty at it's finest you have chosen two good countries. I like the face in the tree, it's a woman with long, curly hair.
ReplyDeleteThe colours of the birds and the wild flowers are beautiful!
I agree with you about the sunset! The girth of the trees down there is amazing!
As always Alida, magnificent photos!
Enjoy!
We love you! Janice & Paul
Gorgeous!
