This is a spectacular landscape, worthy of protection both for its outstanding natural beauty and for its biodiversity. But it is a remote and rugged area, valuable for tourism but not for extractive uses so it was easier to protect than more productive and economically valuable landscapes."

[...] A refugium is a region that enables certain organisms to persist when the original ecosystem becomes less habitable due to climate change. Kings Canyon provides water sources in shady crevices in which the cycad Macrozamia macdonneii and other plants grow (van Oosterzee 1991). Although amoebae and ciliates did not differ in numbers or species from desert sites (Table 2, Fig. 2), the effect of a more stable moisture regime was seen in the slowly growing testacea, which were three times more abundant, with twice as many species."

• "Standing at the rim of King’s Canyon makes you feels like you’re on the edge of the earth. The flat face and sheer drop of the canyon walls are both frightening and inspiring in their size and stark, natural beauty. The view encourages contemplation, as your eyes follow a landscape criss-crossed with streams, scattered with pre-historic cycad ferns and filled with native wildlife. If a three hour trek to overlook the 270 metre drop sounds too challenging, stick to the canyon floor, strewn with boulders and home to the Garden of Eden, where ancient plant life thrives. Be guided through the Lost City, filled with eerie domed rocks, or take a helicopter flight to comprehend the scale of the entire formation. Find out how the canyon was formed, and discover the cultural significance for the local Luritja people. 450 kilometres south west of Alice Springs in the Watarrka National Park, Kings Canyon is an unforgettable destination." - http://www.regionalarts.com.au/ah/files/CentralAustralia.pdf - Achtung, Tourismusunternehmen, unter Umständen überzogen.

Australian Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research 44(3) 483 - 505, Jahr 1993. Kostenlose Zusammenfassung. "The George Gill Range (24ºS,132ºE) 220 km south west of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory, lies within one of the driest regions of Australia. Diel and seasonal temperature differences are extreme and the average rainfall is 250 mm per annum. The streams of the Range are the largest group within the Central Ranges and are relatively pristine. Their flow regimes are episodic but deep rock pools appear to act as reservoirs of surface runoff and may also receive groundwater from the Mereenie aquifer."
