Sleep in day – we got to sleep in until 7am!!! As for the swags last night – it definitely was warmer however having mice crawl over my face in the middle of the night really isn’t my cup of tea! Yes that’s right the mouse plague affected our faces at night!
We headed to Kings Canyon for our first stop and our 3 hours walk up a hill that’s called ‘heart attack hill’ sounds fun. We learnt up there that canyon is a rock that has moved up from the Earth’s core, whereas a gorge is produced from water chipping it away. Therefore it should be called ‘The Grand Gorge’.
Isn't it funny that next year the three of us will be teaching kids this age - yet we still get put in the kids photo?! 
We then stopped at a gas station for a break where we said goodbye to Ducky (Dave) and picked up another family of 5 (Tom, Melanie, Chris, Stevie, and Amy from Philadelphia) for the rest of our trip. We then stopped at the very last pub on the Northern Territory side – where we took silly pictures of head cut outs and big beer cans.
Next stop was the Northern Territory / South Australia border where we stood two places at once!
Northern Territory
South Australia! Two states covered! 
At camp we had some dinner of chicken stir-fry with noodles made by Shane and Team Canada! We slept in tents that night – there were no more swags for us – besides I couldn’t really be bothered – good thing because it ended up pouring down during the night!
