The Bungle Bungles (Purnululu NP)

Left camp at 7.45am, which is a new record for us (I reckon it’s the single toast cooking over the gas stove x 5 people for breakfast which slows us down). We drive the 53kms of scenic 4WD track into the park and then another 27kms to the Piccaninny Creek Car Park. We do the loop walk through and around the domes, the 3km walk into Cathedral Gorge which is a lovely natural amphitheatre with a pool of water at the end (unswimmable- doh!)

It is a really hot day and we are walking in the hottest part of day, so we just make it to the Piccaninny Lookout after that and we have all had it. The orange and grey beehive shaped domes are made from sandstone and other rocks that have been deposited about 360 million years ago.

Another hour rough drive to our campsite to set up the tents. The communal campfire is near our campsite, so we get chatting to some families as we all put our spuds in the coals. There is a definite camaraderie among travellers which is great, and we come up trumps with our boost bar infused damper.
