With its vertical rock walls of up to 100 meters Kings Canyon, also known as Watarraka by the Aborigines, is one of the most spectacular gorges in Australia. Over millions of years, wind and water have carved a deep incision into the red sandstone of the landscape, forming a green oasis in the middle of the Outback. Deep at the bottom of the canyon, protected from drying out, water-filled basins have formed, which today provide the foundation for the rich flora and fauna of the Kings Canyon.
