Purnululu National Park

 

200 km down the bitumen from Kununurra to the turn off. We had just let some air out of the tyres for the gravel when a ranger pulled up to tell us that the southern section of the park was closed to the public because of bush fires - started by lightning.

We were free to camp at Kurrajong and explore the northern section but the archetypal Bungle Bungle Domes are in the south. We went in and hoped that the south would reopen while we were there.

Small storm/squall at Kurrajong campground.

Echidna Chasm

 

Walking this chasm was pretty cool. It gets quite narrow and consequently interesting light on the walls.

Bower - Echidna Chasm

 

Right next to the path and even signposted with a national parks sign is this Great Bower Bird's bower.

Bungle Bungles

 

Yes the southern section did open up and we were able to move camps. This is driving into the Bungle Bungle car park.
