DAY 15 13th August Ord River to the Bungle Bungles


DAY 15

Monday 13th August

Ord River to Bungle Bungles

We went to caravan park to meet the others at 7.30am as planned and Peter and Robyn were sitting in their car. We thought we were late but they wound their clocks the wrong way and set their alarm for 4.30am and had been up for hours!!! Met Betty and Gerard from Nederlands who are travelling the world in a vehicle similar to ours. Had a chat and hoped to catch up with them in the Bungles. The three vehicles headed off down to the Bungles we were told road was rough and would take 3 hours to do 56 kms. I guess everyone’s ideas are different we took 1 and half hours. It was a great drive with some lovely river crossings with water in them! Very hilly country and an interesting track in., saw our first wild dingo.






 Went to book in a tthePurnulu Rangers Station  and register then off to check out campsite. We stayed at Waraldi in the southern end the first night. The Bungle Bungles are just out of this world, I love it here. The honeycomb rock features and red colours are amazing. We had lunch and did the Dome walk and Picaninny Gorge walk and the Cathedral walk today.
These were only a few kms each most of the time was taking photos. Back to camp to cook dinner felt good doing some exercise and walks. Betty and Gerard came across for a chat very interesting people they have been travelling the world for ten years. They spent one and half years touring Africa in their vehicle sounds amazing!!!
