AUSTRALIA ~ Kings Canyon - Watarrka National Park ~

... Great view of "Kings Canyon" part of Watarrka National Park... one of the major tourist attractions in the Red Center of Australia... the most spectacular and largest canyon...  the Kings Canyon Rim Walk leads through a labyrinth of vast, sweeping views, and richly coloured sandstone walls rocks... there are several sidewalks to viewpoints from where you can look into the depth of the canyon... if hiking isn’t for you, take off on a helicopter flight and appreciate the grand scale of the canyon... this National Park is also a significant conservation area with gorges and waterholes providing home for a wide range of animals, birds, reptiles and an amazing array of plants... Thanks a lot Denny!❁◕ ‿ ◕❁


Watarrka National Park is  located in the Northern Territory. It contains the much visited Kings Canyon and Kathleen Springs.

 Watarrka National Park was established in 1989 and gets its name from the Aboriginal name of the land.

Kings Canyon was formed over millions of years of erosion, slicing the earth 270 metres deep.

The canyon abounds with waterholes and casts a sheltering shadow over dense palm forests and native animals from the harsh desert surrounds lending to an interesting array of flora and fauna.
