The Bungle Bungle Ranges.

A short drive from Wolf Creek Crater is Purnululu National Park, better known as the Bungle Bungles. We left the van at a free camp across the road from the entrance of the national park and drove in to do an overnight camp. The drive in to the park was excellent and took a couple of hours to do the 54 Km due to the roughness of the track. The car still has the factory tyres on it so I took it easy. So with the swag and a bit of tucker packed we headed in.


We arrived and did the walk into Echidna Chasm, it was good to be in the bush again enjoying a walk and the chasm was beautiful.


This completed the northern part of the park and in the morning the southern part before we headed off, so after a few hours of walking a few trails we headed for the camp ground to settle for the night.

The next day we traveled down the short road trip to the south of the park and to Cathedral Gorge, this is another excellent walk and where the quintessential Bungle Bungle rock formations can be seen.



The end of the walk you are rewarded with a massive open area at the end of the gorge cut into the rock, like a cathedral funnily enough. :-)


All in all an excellent walk and we would recommend it. Lake Argyle next.
