The Bungle Bungles.

We were picked up from the campsite at 5.30am to fly to the Bungle Bungles from Kununurra. We flew over the Ord River and the Diversion Dam which was built when they created lake Kununurra. They then built an even bigger dam to form Lake Argyle which was created to irrigate the surrounding areas during the Dry. This lake is immense and we only saw it at the end of the Dry. We landed at Bellburn International Airport to be met by a big 4WD truck and whisked off to base camp for brekkie. Graham was a bit upset as he was expecting a full English but the fruit, cereal and tea and coffee went down well with most people. We were then taken off to the beginning of Piccaninny Creek for a short walk to the look out and then on to Cathedral Gorge which is spectacular even though it meant getting my feet wet. We then went on to Echidna Chasm where we had lunch and an afternoon walk into the chasm itself. It is a long narrow chasm about 1km long that gets narrower and narrower and just when you think that you’ve reached the end another bit opens up. The Bungle Bungles themselves are orange and black striped beehive shaped domes that look amazing. Just like the Karijini what ever I say about this place I can never do just to it. We then flew back to Kununurra in time for a beer before dinner.
