The first day we left Alice Springs and headed towards Kings Canyon. On the way there we were given the opportunity to ride camels which was a first time for a lot of us and was a great experience. We then arrived at Kings Canyon for a hike, but make sure you bring a head net as there can be a lot of flies about, but you barely notice them with the net on. The hike was fantastic as we got to see the gorge after walking through the canyon and seeing the sandstone walls whilst our tour guide told us about the history of it. Explore

Day 1. We got up at 6am, grabbed our bags, walked to YHA in Perth and started a chat with other people waiting for the tour to start. Even before our guide Craig picked us up at 7am, we already made some friends. The plan was to make it to Cape Le Grand National Park on the same day, so we would have two nights and one full day there. Our first short coffee stop was in a nice little town called York. After 30 minutes we continued our journey to Wave Rock. On the way we made another interesting short stop at a Dog cemetery. Here rest the working dogs of local farmers. Around noon we arrived at Wave rock were we had a sandwich lunch and 30 mins to explore the amazing Wave rock. After everyone made the famous “surf” pictures and walked to the top of the rock for a stunning view of the outback, we got back to the Van and drove for another 4 hours. We stopped in Stokes NP. Here we cooked dinner together (a very tasty pasta Carbonara). We then slept out in swags under the stars. Explore
