The view of the canyon walls from the velley

Over the four day Easter break, I jumped in the car with my crazy friend, and we hit the road bound for Kings Canyon.I know Uluru gets most of the attention, but Kings Canyon really is one of the most scenic, peaceful and magical places in the Red Centre. And if it’s not on your bucket list, then it definitely should be.

The hiking season in the NT is well and truely over and 'major sunburn while walking the 2 minutes to your car' has begun. #RedCentreNT #womenwhohike #traveloutbackauatralia #traveller #girlswhotravel #wearetravelgirls
The decent was certainly easier than the climb up! #RedCentreNT #womenwhohike #traveloutbackaust
I am so blessed to have so many friends all around the globe, but I am even more blessed when they come and visit. #traveloutbackauatralia #womenwhohike #climbingmountains #dothent #redcentre #adventure
Yesterday when my friend asked and if I wanted to climb Mt Gillen with him I agreed without thinking. But as 11pm approached and I was still wide awake I began to regret my instant agreement. I was not looking forward to a 5am start and steep inclines. I had a rough sleep since I kept waking up since I was nervous I'd miss my alarm. By 4:30am I'd accepted that I wouldn't get anymore sleep and resigned myself to staring at the ceiling and could already feel the tired-induced headache creeping in. Despite this, by 5:15 I was in the car with my friend and I couldn't remember why I didn't want to do the hike anymore. I had a great time and it just served as a reminder that we can get so comfortable in our routines, and it is these very routines that can trap you. Now I'm off to rest my poor legs!
Was lucky enough to meet the Queen and Prince Phillip in the red centre last week... jokes! They're original visit was back in 1963, and now be commemorated with these pretty poorly painted figurines. #inatagramhiatus #redcentre #redcentrent #traveloutbackaust #dothent
