I have wanted to visit Purnululu or the Bungles since seeing
that Qantas ad on telly. And we have just come back from an amazing three day camping trip there.
I took 318 photos before my camera battery died. I thought I had recharged it before I left. It would help if the actual charger was plugged in though!
282 of those photos taken were taken from a helicopter! My Dad, Grace and I went up for an 18 minute flight over them. It was just incredible even if I spent the first ten minutes thinking what have I done?? I never go on those rides at shows that take you up fast and whiz you around and here I am in a helicopter with no doors for fun?
The view was just awesome though. Grace was breathless when we got off the ground. Something to tell for news when she goes back to school!
Oxidisation of the iron in the sandstone gives the range the beautiful orange colour. Darren tried to convince the girls the bee hive domes were giant dinosaur droppings from millions of years. They laughed at him.
On the last day we did the Piccaninny Creek Walk. Amazing views along an eroded creek bed.
We walked up to the lookout.
Running back along Piccaninny Creek. Matilda's energy was boundless despite the 32 degrees!
And another lookout!
Milly strolling through the Domes.
We did walk Echidna Chasm too. Initially you walk through a palm filled gorge, but that soon becomes narrower and narrower, and then narrower still till at the end it's less than a meter wide.
One last view from the sky. Can't wait till Daz's folks come backup so we can go again with them.
