Purnululu National Park (The Bungle Bungles)

After stopping overnight at Fitzroy Crossing and Halls Creek (heavily indigenous towns in the North West, with no real highlights), we headed off the highway for about 50km to get into The Bungle Bungles (now officially called Purnululu National Park). The road in was very rough, with about half a dozen creek crossings. We weren't game to get out of the car to check the depth of the water before driving across (crocs!), so we just crossed our fingers and hoped for the best. Apart from some of the trailer wiring catching fire, we made it in one piece. By this stage we were about 500-600km east of Broome.

While Lisa and Justin had flown over The Bungles before, we were really looking forward to getting up close to the beautifully colored dome-shaped rocks, and we weren't disappointed. It was hot and dusty at the campground, but once we got up close to the domes it was cool and quite lush. We did several walks to different areas of the park and really enjoyed it despite having to keep a keen eye out for snakes - we only saw one. Highlights were Cathedral Gorge and Echidna Chasm. After an hour walking in 40 deg heat these quiet, cool gorges were a really nice place to hang out for awhile. It's probably not worth wasting more adjectives trying to describe this part of our trip, so please have a look at our pictures below.
