The Bungle Bungles

After a relaxing night spent with other travellers at Three Springs campground it was off to the Bungle Bungles this morning.  It's a 53 km dirt track in, open to 4WDs only.  We crossed 7 water hazards along the way.  Bruce's rally driving along the bumpy, windy roads, however, made four of the five of us feel really ill by the time we arrived at the visitors centre.

The Bungle Bungles, however, did not disappoint!


Our first port of call was Cathedral Gorge, where Fletcher and Jarrah waded in the water and Jack perfected his rock skimming skills.


After a picnic lunch we travelled to the northern end of the park to tackle Echidna Chasm.  Despite the heat, the boys and I completed a challenging walk through the very narrow and sometimes precarious crack in the rocks!



And it was all rewarded by a bath in the river at the end of the day...(which was most welcome by me as they had become rather smelly after free camping for several days!!)

    1. Well apparently there we no crocs, but you never really know, do you? There was also a great photo just like that with me in it - but we got a tourist to take it and it was all blurry! Alas, I don't appear in very many photos at all! xx

  2. Great pics. Jarrah looks a bit annoyed that he didn't get in on the acrobatic act. Tell Bruce we can see through the water. bf xx
