Oz Trip - Day 82

Day 82 – 22/7/2012 – Flight over Bungle Bungles

Before we even arrived at the Bungle Bungles we knew that we wanted to do a flight over the Bungle Bungles. Back in Katherine we did some research to see whether we would do the flight at the Bungle Bungles or from Kununurra. We ended up finding the prefect tour. It was a flight over Lake Argyle, the Bungle Bungles and a tour of the Argyle Diamond mine. This worked out perfectly as I wanted to see the mine site but there is no other way into the mine site, (for the public), other than by air. I was able to ride shotgun for the whole trip.

Oz Trip - Day 78

Day 78 – 18/7/2012 - Mini Palms walk

Another early start as we wanted to the Mini Palms walk before it got too hot. The start of the walk takes you up a dry rocky creek bed. It was pretty hot in the sun but once you made it to the gorge the temperature dropped a fair bit. The breeze coming out of the gorge felt like it was coming out of an air conditioner.

Oz Trip - Day 77

Day 77 – 17/7/2012 – The Domes and Cathedral Gorge

In the Bungle Bungles National Park you don't camp right beside where the walks start from. So we decided to do the walks that were furthest from our campsite first. It was a 26km drive to where the walks started from.

The first walk that we did was The Domes walk. Here you walk amongst the beehive domes.

Oz Trip - Day 76

Day 76 – 16/7/2012 – The Bungle Bungles

We were on the road by 7:30am because we knew it was going to be a long day. Distance wise it wasn't going to be massive but we know it was going to be slow going to get into the Bungle Bungles National Park.

It took us just over 2 ½ hours to do the 250km to the turn off to the Bungle Bungle National Park and then another 2 ½ hours to do the 60km into the camp ground because it was so rough. There was about 5 or 6 creek crossings with the deepest coming up to about middle of the bullbar.
