Bungle Bungle - From the north

We arrived at Kurrajong (Purnurlulu NP) camp site at about 11am. Regina drove the narrow, gravel, 53k into the park. She is now an old hand with gravel and corrugations, but Spring Creek Track also threw up 14 creek crossings, one of which was the upper reaches of the Ord River. Two crossings were surprisingly deep considering we are so far into the Dry.
We had some glimpses of the range during the drive in and we were keen to get amongst it. We chose the northern gorges because they are closest to the camp. An irrefutable truth is that the west side of an object gets hot in the afternoon, especially when the object is a 300m high slab of dark red sandstone. It was damn hot on that walk. The oasis enclosed in both Mini Palm Springs and Echidna Gorge made it all worthwhile.Okumaya devam et
