Carmichael's Crag : Spring evening . . .

            Carmichael's Crag is a sacred site for the local Aboriginal 'Luritja' People.  Carmichael's Crag, together with the associated hills are woven into the dreamtime story of a mother dingo with her pups.  Ernest Giles in 1874 called the north-west point of George Gill Range Carmichael's Crag after Samuel Carmichael, who contributed to Giles' expedition.

{{As the sun dips behind Carmichael's Crag and the George Gill Range, watch the spellbinding changing colours of the sandstone and sky before the stars come out. The mesmerising shift of red, orange and pink colours are created by the red center's natural sandy environment preventing the light from the sun's rays coming through, enabling an array of red light to reflect on the range and sky to emphasise an array of vibrant colours.}} - according to the Kings Canyon Resort website.

The Sunset Viewing Platform is within walking distance from Kings Canyon Frontier Resort where we stayed for the night.  The resort is about 320 km from Uluru.

From the platform Carmichael Crag as well as the George Gill Range were in full view.  The temperature was warm and the atmosphere was great.
