Day 3 #2: Mereenie Loop Road

11th June 2012

After our wonderful walk around the rim of King’s Canyon, we headed back to the King’s Canyon resort for lunch, then tackled the Mereenie Loop Road.  Or rather Jason tackled it, and we sat in our “pod” and were driven.

 

 

The Mereenie Loop Road is almost 200 km of unsealed road between King’s Canyon and Hermannsburg.

 

We were under strict instructions to keep our seatbelts on at all times in case of any major bumps or brakings.  Jason said it was in much worse condition than the last time he drove on it.

The scenery looked pretty much like this for most of the way.

 

Or this.

I found I could easily get used to being driven around……
