Thu 11 Aug 2011 Bungle Bungle National Park to Bungle Bungle Caravan Park



The sun streaming into Edhidna Chasm
 for a few minutes each day



0830 (9545 km) Left Kurrajong camping ground.

0900 (9559 km) Mini Palms Gorge car park. It was a hot 2.5km walk to the gorge. We got to some boulders that appeared to be blocking the path. And we had to go under, go over and squeeze through the boulders. The path kept going until we got to some steps. The steps led up to a platform that overlooked the spectacular Mini Palms Gorge - except there was hardly any palms - probably destroyed in the last wet season.

1115 (9561 km) Walked to Echidna Chasm. The towering conglomerate walls of over 100m opened up a gap for us to squeeze through. In some areas, the kids could stretch their arms out and touch both sides. At around midday, the sunlight streamed into the narrow chasm creating a fantastic view.

1230 (9561 km) Left Echidna Chasm.

1300 (9531 km) Back at Visitor Centre. Had lunch of bread, corn, ham and cheese.
1400 (9531 km) Left Bungle Bungle National Park.
1550 (9633 km) Got back to caravan park. Dinner of indomie and spam.
