Kununnura didn't really do much for us, by our standards it was busy, our caravan park was 60% full, and if your not into fishing or boating, there really isn't much else. It was a nice enough town and Lake Argyle was interesting, but we only needed two days to do what we wanted.

The Bungle Bungles were a whole different story though. In our campground there were only around six camps on average and there was plenty of amazing scenery for us to see.

Because there were so few people in the park the visitor centre was closed and there was no campground host to tell us about the area, but that didn't bother us.

We arrived late in the afternoon after traveling in on a very rough, corrugated road that slowed our progress.

We had planned to start our first walk early the next morning, but our departure from camp was delayed because I had told a couple with a TVan I would help them pack up and show them some tricks while doing it.

The walks we were doing this morning were Whip Snake Gorge, The Window, Piccaninny Creek Lookout, Cathedral Gorge and the Domes, about 14K in total.

We visited the Domes first, these are the iconic 'bee hive' domes you see in photos of the Bungles. They were really quite something different to see in real life. We then passed the other stops and walked up an amazing river bed (Piccaninny Creek) until we arrived at Whip Snake Gorge. We were stunned by this gorge with its high walls, but already it was getting hot, so we stopped in the cool of the gorge and had morning tea. Walking back up Piccaninny Creek we stopped at 'The Window", a hole in a rock, nothing to stunning. Further along Piccanniny Creek we went out to Piccanniny Creek Lookout for an amazing view across the creek and plains. On the way we stopped in the shade for lunch, it was now in the mid 30s and getting hotter. We were grateful for the cool of Cathedral Gorge. This gorge was amazing, it had a little manky water in it and huge walls, and quite narrow. The acoustics were unreal too, they have held some concerts in here. We stayed for a while and waited for the families with their children to leave so that we could take in the serenity of the place before we too had to head out into the heat. We were so glad to get back to the car and the air-conditioning!

We had a lovely quiet afternoon in camp before taking a short drive to a lookout for a sunset view of the Bungles.

An earlier start was planned for our second day of walking, but to start with it was a 45 minute drive to the starting point of the walks.

The first walk we did was to Homestead Valley, this was a lovely place between the mountains, it was an easy 4.4K walk.

The next walk was Mini Palms Gorge, a much harder walk than any of the others we had done. To get into this narrow gorge we had to climb over and under huge boulders before it became a lot easier. The walk was well worth the effort. This gorge was amazing, huge walls, lots of palms, views, it had it all, it was breath taking. This was another 4.4K walk.

Now it was getting hot and it was a bit of a dash to get to the next walk, Echidna Chasm. It was a dash because they say to see it around midday when the sun lights up this very narrow chasm. It too was amazing, but not up there with Mini Palms or Cathedral, in our opinion.

On leaving Echidna we braved the heat and visited a nearby lookout, Osmand Lookout. The views were worth the effort, but now it was too hot to look at anything else, so it was back to camp for another afternoon of bird watching.

The next morning was a latter start as we were only visiting 'Stonehenge', a short walk with information boards about Aboriginal bush foods and another short walk to Kungkalanayi Lookout. The Stonehenge walk was kind of a waisted effort, most of the interpretation signs didn't have any plants that matched the description near them. The lookout was worth the effort though with great views over the park.

Another quiet night in camp before packing up in the morning to head to Wolfe Creek Crater.
