3hrs sleep and another 4am start so we can visit Watarrka National Park and walk Kings Canyan before heading back to Alice where we finished our six day tour. 

Neither Sam or I did the 3hr walk around the outer rim.  Sam’s ankle was sore from the previous days walking and, if the truth be known, we were just exhausted from the late nights and early mornings coupled with the sun and the dehydration took it toll. Sam stayed in the tour van and I walked the half hour along the bottom.

After the canyon it was off for lunch and you could take a camel or helicopter ride.  The camel ride was $15 for 15 mins and the helicopter $145 for 15 mins.  You will not see pictures of doing either!

It was great being back in Alice Springs at a decent hostel with a pool and kitchen facilities.  We had a late night farwell party with the group till the early hours, had a lie in and went shopping before we caught out flight to Cairns.
