Bungle Bungles

We left our caravan at a popular 'free stop', on the side of the highway, grabbed our 2-man tent and lilos, and hit the 2-hour 53km 4WD track into the Bungle Bungles.







Not only going for many bush walks, but pitching our tent, hiking, enjoying a campfire at night, watching the stars and shooting the breeze with fellow campers was all just as enjoyable; we had a wonderful two days.





DAY ONE

Wild flowers such as these grow everywhere



Spinifex grass, and the Bungles in the distance




Termite mounds







Mini-palms bushwalk







Echidna Gorge

Tight squeeze



It's actually quite dark in here, and the light is diffused, so there are no clear shadows.



Very tight to get through



DAY TWO

Grivillea abounds



Cathedral Gorge and Picanninny bush walks















A water-monitor watches us from a small water hole



A spectacular Rainbow Bee-eater entertains us by catching, killing, and eating this dragonfly



A legless lizards frightens some tour-group participants



Termite mounds here are massive!!!

    Lovely photos. The photo of all the termite mounds is spooky. The mounds look like people in black robes or something. Awesome.
