DAY THREE (Breakfast/Lunch)

An early rise to travel out to Kings Canyon nestled in the George Gill Ranges. The next 4 hours we spend exploring this geological jewel situated at the western end of the ranges. View the 'Amphitheatre', 'Lost City', the striking north and south walls and the beautiful 'Garden of Eden'. Return to Kings Creek Station for lunch before returning to Alice Springs travelling through sand dunes and majestic desert oak trees. Arrive approximately 18:00hrs.
