Kings Canyon and Day 1

Very very early the next morning we got up and ready to be picked up at 5:25 am.
Julia and I grabbed some very good places behind the driver with a little more space.
We picked up some more people from another hostel and the journey began.
In our bus were 20 people and from the company were again 3 other busses on the same routes.
Our irish tourguide explained us the 3 most important rules:

1. When we drive it´s always for FOREVER so that he doesn´t get questions about the distances all the time.
2. Don´t ask if we can do anything special in the National Park the answer is always NO. ( Was of course the running gag if we can climb or basejump from every cliff)
3. For every walk we had to have 3 L of water.

Around Midday we came to the Kings Canyon National Park and stretched our feet out ready for the first walk.

Kings Canyon was pushed out of the ground millions of years ago because the tectonic grounds had tensions pushing against each other and lifted tons of sand out which became sandstone.
Before that there was a saltwater ocean in the middle of the country.
Examples for that were find everywhere on our walk.
The erosion makes the cracks in the canyon bigger so that you could see some cliffs which just fell apart.
We had perfect weather and I got some pictures with Julia and me during the walk.
While having a break on one of the cliffs our tourguide wanted to be in the photo as well.

After the walk we collected fire wood and were driving for forever to our bushcamp place.
Apart from all civilication we camped in the bush with our swags.
Swags are pretty simple one person tents with a matress in them. But tent isn´t really the word because it´s more like a sleeping bag.
So that I fell asleep watching the full moon, the stars and listening to dingo crys.
