Mini Palms Walk

We woke up this morning and had breakfast on the deck. I had a chia pudding with fruit and it was absolutely delicious. Scott had both the continental and cooked breakfast. We chatted with the two other couple at breakfast and heard about there trips and where they were heading next.

Jayden had the day off and was going to be our tour guide for the day. Jayden organised our lunches and said he even changed out the knives for my lunch which the chef had taught him so there was no contamination.

We left around 8:30am and it took just under an hour to arrive at the start of the track for Mini Palms walk. The northern end of the Bungle Bungle Range is known for the contrasting colours of the rocks and the Bungle Bungle Range Fan Palm. The palms are found where their roots reach permanent water seepage, and can reach heights of 30m. The end of the trail had stunted palms which is where the trial got its name mini palms.

After some rock scrambling at the end of the trail we arrived at the top of the gorge surrounded by palms. We took a few photos before returning on the track and then heading to Echidna Chasm.Read more
