Kings Canyon

Watarrka National Park is in the Northern Territory, Australia, its main attraction being King’s Canyon.

King’s Canyon is one of the major tourist attractions in the Red Centre in Australia.

The scenic landscape in and around King’s Canyon is the result of millions of years of erosion. Enigmatic domes formations, sharp cliffs, and good views of the surrounding desert reward the visitor talking the rim walk around the Canyon.

Watarrka has been home to Luritja Aboriginals for several thousands years, and places in the Kin’s Canyon are still sacred sites.

The park houses wide variety of desert plants and birds. A waterhole, aptly named the Garden of Eden, has given birth to a lush garden of green, a paradise for the local fauna.

Be wary of the desertic climate and the risk of dehydratation. In the summer months, temperature at King’s Canyon can very easily climb over 40C during the day.

Even in other seasons always respect the warning signs and do not risk your life attempting the walk in full heat.
