Friday morning we were up early to see the sun rise over Ularu, but unfortunately the weather was not in our favour and the cloud rolled in restricing the colour chnages. We then paced up and travelled to King's CanyonSince once again the temperature was well over 35 degrees we decided to take the easy walk which was well worth the effort. We had been told that the rim walk is a must,but once we saw the steps up the rock, we decided not to bother. For those who have been to the Blue Mountains and done the walk down the three sisters, the start of the rim walk is similar but up instead of down. During the walk we saw some wild budgies amoung the trees.

We stayed at the King's Canyon resort camp ground and were surprised to find that we had a large number of dingos for neighbours. It is quite earie to waken in the middle of the night to the sound of dingos howling.

Today the weather was very overcast and rain seemed to be in the air. After we had packed up we set off back towards the Stuart highway to continue our trip south. The weather deteriorated and as it was quite cool, we stopped to put on the wet weather gear. We were luck however that we didn't actually see muchg rain. We did however have a little excitement when we came round a corner and found a large number of cars stopped in thye road. My first reaction was an accident. However they had all stopped because the road was flooded. Despite most of the vehicals actually being 4 wheel drives no one was game to go through the water. We waited for a while and weighed up the situation. We then decided that it wasn't really that deep and decided to risk riding through. I went first and depite having water up to my foot boards had no real problem. Kery followed with the trailer again with no problems. The last we saw oth the others they were still waiting for the water to go down. Really have to wonder why people bother with 4 wheel drives if they are not game to go through a little water. I now have a new sloggan - there is nothing you can't do on a Burgman.
