I had never planned on going to the centre of Australia since I pictured it as nothing but a huge rock surrounded by an even larger desert, but my ride share from Cairns to Darwin went to the red centre, so I ended up there and loved it. I had been so wrong: Not only are Uluru and the adjoining Valley of the Winds some of the most amazing natural sights that I have seen in my life, but also Kings Canyon is such an impressive place. In Kings Canyon, there are natural springs like this one that have provided the Aborigines with water for thousands of years.
