Old Update#21 - Bungle Bungles 27-29/06/08

About 250ish kms South from Kununurra are the World Famous Bungle Bungles (or Purnululu nowadays).

The last 50ish kms are dirt - and slow (Takes 2.5-3 hrs for the last 50 kms)

But well worth the drive.

There are some simply amazing rock formations here.

The dirt road is a DEFINITE no caravan road - so it was time to use the tents finally (Good practice for the Kalumburu trip with the Bro's the following week). So we left van at the caravan park at Kununurra - it was great to scoot along without the van for a change.

Entrance to Bungles (This actually onto Mabel Downs Station and the road to the Bungle goes through their property)

Time to lower the tyre pressures...to be kind to the car and hopefully the tyres too.

One of the MANY river crossings.

Kids love this.

Time to unpack the roof...finally - But NOT too early for a BEER ! ! ! and who needs hands anyway??

Our RATHER BASIC camp - it was already 5:30pm - so no walks today.

The 'Bee-hive' part of the Bungles

More of the 'Bee-hives' - probably the more famous part -but there are some equally spectacular other parts.

Cathedral Gorge for instance.

Same same.

When a boys gotta go -a boys gotta go.

Echidna Chasm - We loved this the most I think. That's James at the bottom and the photo probably only picks up about 2/3 of the walls.

The road to 'Mini-Palms' gorge. Just a river-bed.

We spent 2 nights at the Bungles and one HUGE day full of walks - absolutely awesome !!

WE CAN DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THE 'BUNGLE BUNGLES'

Here's James pumping up the tyres for me before we hit tar again.

Like Son like Father....
