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 photo above is in the chasm.

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.

Wolf Creek Meteorite Crater

Our first port of call after leaving Fitzroy was Wolf Creek Meteorite Crater. The Crater is found 170 Km South down the Tanami Road just before Halls Creek. An excellent drive with the van and a camp area that was beautiful.

A short walk from where we were camped is the crater and an easy climb got you to the top of it. Nice view of the second largest meteorite crater in the world, the largest on is in the US. The crater is 20m deep but back in the day it was formed used to be 120m deep. Over time the desert winds have blown in sand as is slowly filling it. The crater is thought to be about 300,000 years old.

The above photo is of the bottom of the crater.

Next stop, The Bungle Bungles.

Back On The Road.

After wrapping up business at Broome and saying goodbye to the friends we made, we hedded to Fitzroy Crossing to stay with a friend of Tracey's. Steve is an employee of the same organisation Tracey worked for in Broome and is the Fitzroy Crossing court officer.

We had a good few days fishing and catching cherabin. Steve's family owns a cattle station in the area and they had just shot a beast, known as a "killer", so the engel fridge was chock a block full of beef. We left the Crossing for Kununurra and free camped all the way.
