Kings Canyon

 

Onward and upward the expedition goes to Kings Canyon deep in the Australian Red Centre.  Here I am pointing the way up the mountain to a high vantage point of the canyon complex.

Far below the car park can be seen.

Careful of the sharp drop-offs!

 

The red cliffs of stone are home to a host of avian species.  The expedition biologist had a marvelous time cataloging and preserving specimens.

 

 

 

 

A steel walkway over a deep chasm.  The remains of the prior bridge were at the bottom of the fissure.

 

Lord Bailey gives a salute reminiscent of a previous expedition to the deserts of the American Southwest.

 

 

 

 

 

Ripples in the sandstone.

 

A complex staircase system to climb up one side of the canyon.
