Time has come to do a serious bush walk – here we are, waiting at 6 a.m. to get picked up by an Isuzu 4WD bus ready to bounce us down into the bungles and around for the next 2 days.
Not knowing what will await us we board the bus and joined our friends who had been along already for 6 days on the Gibb River Road. The tour was led by Norm – over 25 years of experience in and around this area – who introduced us after a 6 hours bumpy ride into the NP with our garden site villas …2 sheets of plastic – which seemed to be our shelter for tonight!
So the adventure starts ;-)
On the first day we went to the northern side of the park and walked the Echidna Chasm – perfect harmony between palms and rocks.
Waken up by the freezing temperatures and sound of the wild we were ready to go for the real walk the Piccaninny creek walk & Cathedral Gorge.
Here you can see the main formations of the Bungles – the Bee Hives. Just beautiful. 20millions old which make them the youngsters of this area which is around 350mio. years old.
