In the morning we went in the first group of 5 cars to travel to Kings Canyon from Glen Helen. Our first stop was Gosse Bluff where a crater was formed when a meteorite hit the earth 142 million years ago. It was a big crater.
Then we continued our journey to Kings Canyon. It was a bumpy ride because it was a 4wd track. When we were still 45 minutes from our destination, Mum and I really needed to go to the toilet. We managed to hold on and we made it !!! Once we had setup the caravan, we sat outside and worked out what we would do today. We decided we would go out to Kings Canyon and do the big, big, big rim walk.
At first, we climbed a steep section and we were puffing and puffing. Finally, we stopped at a bit that had benches and we could put our bag which had our drink bottles down and we had a drink. On the walk we saw pretty rocks and ochre which was orange, white and yellow.
It was a long walk – 6.5km in total, but we did it in 2 hours!!!
At the end I decided to give my family awards. Dad got the Encourager Award because he encouraged me all the way, James got the Good Climber Award and Mum got the Helping in many Different Ways. James gave me a Perseverance Award and that made me very happy.
