Nan and Pa's new adventure

We left this morning a bit after 6.00am and headed to the Bungle Bungles. The road in is an adventure in itself, corrugated, stony and more than 25 water crossings. It took us about an hour and three quarters to reach the visitors centre. After paying our fees we headed off to the northern end of the park, about 1/2 hour drive. But stopping at places of interest and photo opportunities increases the time greatly. We finally arrived at the parking area for the Echidna Chasm. A quick walk up the lookout and then off to the Chasm. This is a very pleasant 1km walk along stony creek bed lined with Livistona palms. The chasm is 180mts long, cool and narrow but when the sun is overhead the walls glow. There were heaps of people waiting for just the right time to snap a shot.
After a great experience at Echinda Chasm we headed to the southern end of the range. After another rough trip of about hour twenty minutes we arrived at the place that everyone recognises as the Bungles, the orange and black 'bee hives' and they are spectacular, well worth the drive in. We visited the Domes, Catheral Gorge and wandered through the 'bee hives'. After a long day we worked up the courage to tackle the track back to Spring Creek and arrived back in camp about 6.00pm a bunch of tired but happy campers.Meer informatie
