Hello, I am Nakai, an Adan staff member.

 

Well,Continued from last time Today is the fifth installment of my travelogue of Australia,

Today,

  Petit trip from Sydney - day trip from Ayers Rock to Kings Canyon

therefore, ,Visited on a 3 day/2 night Ayers Rock trip.Kings Canyon Day Tour(at sentence-end, falling tone) indicates a confident conclusionStory.


 

Tomorrow morning on the second day of our stay at Ayers Rock Resort.

Woke up at 4:00 a.m.

If I overslept, I would be left alone! I woke up with a start and boarded the bus with a sense of urgency.

 

It was dark outside. No one overslept and the bus departed on time.

On this day, we took a tour to Kings Canyon, a four-hour one-way trip.

 

What is King's Canyon...It has a similar name to the Grand Canyon in the United States, but they are completely different. It is a large canyon that suddenly appears in a vast area that is now deserted. Access is quite poor, so there are not many Japanese tourists.

 

Suddenly, I googled Kings Canyon and this is the top hit

We explored why Kings Canyon tours, which have many disadvantages, are not popular.

LOL.

Although Kings Canyon has been beaten to a pulp, it is no exaggeration to say that it was the tour I was most looking forward to on this trip.

Because of the "Nature that you have to go out of your way to encounter.Doesn't it seem to you that "I'm a tourist" is sometimes worth more than the most famous tourist attractions?

 

I've talked too much about this, so I'll get back to it.

 

A few hours on the bus. Just as the sun was coming up...

On the way, we stopped at a camel farm for a buffet breakfast.

During the break, I was asked to sign a pledge that I would not guarantee anything if anything happened to me. During the break, I was made to sign a

Each person should always bring two liters of water! I was strongly recommended by the foreigner guide,

 

We departed, a little freaked out.

I had to buy very expensive water, about $6 for 1.5 liters.

After a four-hour bus ride, we finallyKings Canyon National ParkArriving at the

 

It's hard to tell from the photo, but come to think of it, it's the middle of winter.

They say it's summer when you get heat stroke and need lots of water...lol

I don't know why there is still a 2 liter water rule in the middle of winter,

As someone who does not drink much water, it was a heavy load for me.

However, there is a risk that tours may be cancelled in mid-summer when the temperature rises very high and above a certain level.

(I'm not a demon who drove 4 hours one way to cancel the event...)

 

 

Now, we will climb up the mountain in a gaggle.

It is quite steep and rocky.

 

But there was a tough old lady, about 70 years old, who was also climbing.

The difficulty level is not so high!

Jean!

 

When you reach the top of the climb, you will see thissuperb viewThe whole area is covered with

It was very pleasant with a fresh breeze!

We then walked along the rocky terrain without any shade. (I'll spare you the photos, as the scenery doesn't change much.)

 

I looked down at my feet and found a number of uneven rocks that looked as if they had been eroded by water (?). I found a number of gently uneven rocks that looked as if they had been eroded by water (?).

It is now a desert area, but millions of years ago, water used to flow through it, so is it the remains of that?

Or is it wind erosion...?

 

Arrive at the only oasis, the lake.

It was a very pleasant trek...♪

It is true that in mid-summer, you will be walking on rocky terrain with no shade.

The presence or absence of water must be fatal...

 

The course itself is really no problem if you have comfortable walking sneakers.

The level of difficulty was low and easy to participate.

 

 

Stop for lunch on the way,

Another bus ride on the horizon.

Well, it was just before dusk when we returned to Ayers Rock Resort.

 

I was told that there is an observatory with a sunset view a 10-minute walk away,

I went there for a walk as well.

As you can imagine, we didn't get as close to Ayers Rock as we would have on a sunset tour, but...

IMG_9230

Is this still sufficient?

 

After all, it's free.

 

You can even see Ayers Rock in the distance,

I was reminded once again that the entire area is a quasi-desert with nothing to see.

 

 

Next time,

This is about Field of Light, a limited-time illumination event!

Nakai's travelogue of Australia, loosely translated, still continues.

Please wait with bated breath.
