Bungle Bungles - Catherine Gorge

We spent a day driving to the Bungle Bungles. It's about 2hrs from the turning onto the unsealed road, with lots of creeks and some rocky sections. It's a beautiful drive though as it winds towards the range and you start to see the orange and black banded rocks.
We camped at the southern end first and were all happy to have a stretch and a play! Rosie and I explored the campsite on her bike and came across a bird of prey in its nest. And after the girls went to bed, Matt and I heard rustling in the grass next to our tent and jumped up to investigate. Eventually we spotted the culprit, a cane toad.
There's lots of wildlife here which is lovely to see.
In the morning we headed over to do the walk to Cathedral Gorge and see the famous beehive shaped domes. They were spectacular, much more impressive than any of our photos can do justice. The gorge opening was absolutely massive, it was hard to get our heads around the size of it and how old the layers of rock are!
After lunch at the car parks shady picnic benches we drove to our next campsite, located at the northern end of the park.
We stopped at a lookout on the way which had beautiful 360 views of the range. And had time that afternoon for a walk up the limestone ridge, through the spinifex grasses. It was cool to see another side to the Bungle Bungles.Read more
