Our Trip To The Bungle Bungles
Witch is in the Purnululu  National park
Western Australia
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
July the 2nd  to  6th  July - 10.40 am
We arrived early To the entrance  of the National park.
 As we have a long rough track to go on.
We parked our caravans in a Caravan park as it is safer to do this.
After leaving the vans we started making our way down very dusty track.
With so much  corrugation. We just drove  slowly.
 It finished taking us two & half hours to get to our camp site.   


Ronnie opening  the  gate for us to the entrance to the National Park.


Our camp site is  right next to a big dry river bed.   


Pat and I Finely got our tent up. 

But come night time we did not expect the night to get so cold.
In this photo it is only about 6.30 pm and trying to keep warm.
By 7 pm  we all said good night and went to our tents.
 But even in bed we were still cold. So I went to bed in my dressing gown.


Next Day we took of from camp to see the Bungle Bungles.
I stayed in the car park. As was told would be to rough for me .


There was nice shaded places to sit under.

                                 


Pat Ronnie Arnold and Ronnie's Sister Rose.
Started there walk into the Bungles. Witch will be about 1 hour and 49 min.
Pat has his Fleece Blue shirt tied around his waist.  


They walk to see a place called the cathedral.
With looks so lovely.


They all said it was so peaceful in there.and the sand was so white .

The next day we drove about 30 ks to the place called Echidna Gorge 
The drive there was very lovely scenery.
 But still rotten roads.


The parking place was well shaded. With beautiful scenery to look at.
While they go on there second long walk into the Gorge.

Having a rest under the palms. as they said it is hard walking on the big rocks.  







Pat at the back and Ronnie in the front. 






 After pat came back he took a photo of me at the beginning  
of the walk.


Know for the ride back to our Caravans
 on the worst roads so far on our travails. 


Ronnie took some photos of us  from her rear vision mirror. 


We had a few creeks to cross. so the wheels had a wash.

We arrived back to our vans. and was glad to see they were all ok.
By the time we hooked up and then topped up with water in the tanks.


It was nearly 5.30 pm so we took of to a free camp site for the night.
Just a few ks down the road. We stayed the next day to just rest. 


The next day 5 July we went to a free camp called  Mary River or Mary pond.
you have to cross an old road with was once a water crossing.


You just go find a place to park and make a cupper tea or coffee.



Ronnie and Rose went for a wander down on the river bed to photograph some birds.


We all went for a walk to take some photos of the river.
 Not much of it left but had a few birds still there and even a pelican having a swim.
