Abstract: Given a $k$-graph $ \Lambda $ and an element $p$ of $\mathbb{N} ^k$, we define the dual $k$-graph, $p\Lambda $. We show that when $\Lambda $ is row-finite and has no sources, the $C^*$-algebras $C^*(\Lambda )$ and $C^*(p\Lambda )$ coincide. We use this isomorphism to apply Robertson and Steger's results to calculate the $K$-theory of $C^*(\Lambda )$ when $\Lambda $ is finite and strongly connected and satisfies the aperiodicity condition.
