Our first stop today was the Gosse Bluff Comet Crater. This Crater rises up above the ground level due to the force of the impact (about 145 million years ago) that created rock that did not as easily erode as the surrounding land.
We hiked the inside of the Crater and then left for the Mereenie Loop Road. This unpaved gravel and dirt road is known for flat tires from pot holes and the corrugated, washboard surface.
When it rains the flood level in drainage areas can be very high - even higher than most SUVs - and there are warning signs along the road.
We also saw horses, cattle and camels along the Mereenie road.
Back on the paved road, we drove to the Kings Canyon area to spend the night at a camp site at Kings Creek Station.
