Bungle Bungle (Purnululu NP)

I’d wanted to see the Bungles ever since I saw them featured in a travel mag. We decided to do it from KunnunRra - in a single day, so we can be back to get onto the Gibb with Mon and Kaine.

We set up at Spring Creek free camp just off the freeway next to the Purnululu NP entry and had a chilled afternoon exploring the creek bed and enjoying a camp fire. It was then when we spoke to others and realised the 53km drive into the Bungles visitor centre takes about 2 -3 hrs 😩. And that was just the starting point to the many further drives and walks, Lucky we had enough fuel! We made it there by 9-10am, later than we had hoped. We set off to see the beehive domes on the south end - a walk to the Cathedral Gorge. So glad we made it there as it was a truly spectacular 🤩!!

On our way out I left my mobile in the toilets 😨.. so the rest of the afternoon was eaten by looking for it 😬.. After a long day and total of 6 hours of 4W driving we were relieved to get back into Telstra reception and get a message from a park staff that someone handed my mobile in 😅.

We packed up and had a late drive to Doon Doon Roadhouse for the night. We wanted to get closer to Kununurra to collect the phone from the Ranger and also get stocked up for the Gibb River Road. Little we knew we’d soon be tested again.. the car battery died the next day and Andy accidentally smashed the van’s back bumper bar. Photos on the NEXT FOOTPRINT. See how much luck we would have at Bridgestone on Monday 🤞.En savoir plus
