Kings Creek Helicopter Service


Stillwater

Recommended Posts

After yesterday´s late arrival at Kings Creek Station...

... it is good to get up VERY early for a walk along Kings Canyon. OK, we will save time and energy and take a more relaxing alternative.

We´d be picked up at our campsite just right in front of the airstrip (not shown yet in OZx)...

... follow the track just right of the runway ...

... to reach Kings Creek Station at the main road (well, Luritja road is the only road here, btw). https://www.kingscreekstation.com.au/

Off to Kings Canyon, this is the parking lot. Last flush water toilet for the next hours.

It is wise to climb "Heart Attack Hill" early in the morning. At least there is a defi and a satellite telephone on top for cases of emergency.

We´ll "just" cross the Canyon...

I looked it up in Google maps. Impressive area!

Oh yes, you had a good idea, Ben! You can really find lots of the details in Google Maps/Earth, even the campground. I am not sure if the canyon is given in 3D?

Great shots like the paint job on the chopper

Thanks John. If you mean the simmed 530: It is a default paint from Milviz. If you think of the real Robinson, I can´t help more than that:
