Purnululu National Park (2 nights)

Another World Heritage Area famous for the Bungle Bungle Range (the world’s most exceptional example of cone karst formations!) We spent the first night at the Bungle Bungle Caravan Park just off the main highway then in the morning left the camper trailer behind to avoid towing it in, as we had heard the 53km unsealed road was rough as!  It actually wasn't too bad compared to the Gunlom Falls access road but anyway we enjoyed camping more simply, so with the roof tent and a wee dome tent we had picked up along the way (more gear!) we survived (hats off to you Kate and Antony for the lightweight way you are travelling!!).  That first day in the Park we visited the southern area at Piccaninny, Cathedral Gorge was beautiful and a nice place to escape the heat.

At our camp site in the Walardi camps we encountered another curious kookaburra, a blue winged one this time, so lovely! We also encountered a family from NSW with two girls and we proceeded to have a good old time around the camp fire (stew again).  The next day we visited the northern area with the enchanting Echidna Chasm.
