Gorging on Gorgeous Gorges!!!

In every brochure you see advertising the Northern Territory there are photos of people sitting on the edge of a sheer red cliff face. That is King’s Canyon! And it was here that we began gorging on Gorgeous Gorges! If you haven’t been there yet…it is well worth it! Absolutely beautiful! We arrived around morning tea time, and set out to do the Rim Walk, undeterred by the wall of seemingly endless steps disappearing out of view…we began. The walk is 6km but it is over rugged terrain, there’s a lot of climbing, going up and going down…so it’s slow going.
