Hi everyone, so guess what we've done in the last 2 days. We entered and moved around the Bungle Bungles. Now for those people that don't know, the BB's are a rocky mountain range in the middle of no-where in the top of WA. What makes it so special is that the road in it pretty difficult, and puts many people off. The fact that you have to cross 5 river-beds just to get to the visitors centre tells you a story. Luckily, in the dry season, it's a little easier, only 2 of the rivers had water in it, but it still took over 2 hours to travel the 53kms to the visitors centre.
Once we got in, we headed north, to the wonderful Echidna Chasm, a lovely 2 km walk, that takes you inside a rock wall, as the sides of the gorge get closer and closer together.
From there, we headed to our camp site for the night, a camp site with a little style and lots of relaxation. The tents there were permanent and both our dinner and breakfast were already sorted. Such a great way to do it, if you're not fully into bringing all your own stuff in. We met lots of lovely people.
The next day, we headed to the local airport, so that Steve and Nancy could take helicopter flights over the bungles, what Nancy rated as her best flight ever. At this time, I did feel a little jealous, as I decided not to do it, to save a bit of money.
From there we headed to two walks, the Cathedral Gorge and the Domes. Two fantastic walks, that my photos will never do justice. Right here I have to tell you, these rock formations are of a par/better than the Olgas and Ayers Rock. Absolutely stunning.
After finishing those walks, were then headed out of the Bungles, are are no in the town of Kununurra. Steve and I are going to try hunt down a fishing charter tomorrow, in the hopes of catching a Barra.
Stay happy.
