From the Bungle Bungle’s to Wyndham…

We started the second day of camping at the Bungle Bungle’s fairly early in the morning.  We left at 7am instead of 6:30, but it was still good.

We started our journey into the Mini Palms Gorge.  We followed the dry river bed right up into the gorge.  The palm trees seemed to come from nowhere, giving it a tropical appearance.

We climbed in and around boulders and over the tree roots.  This was really beautiful in this valley.

We got to the back of this gorge, paused,..and returned back.  This was the 5 klm walk.  In the shadows, it was great, but once back on to  the sunny river bed, the walk became a bit strenuous.

This is when the day REALLY started warming up.  The shade was very welcoming.  We headed into the Echidna Chasm.  (Echidna is a spiny anteater.)  This chasm was very interesting as some of the rocks were caught between the boulders.

and then in the middle of this chasm, there’s a wide open space and a bench, which Margaret and I took advantage of.

 

 

 

This was certainly a place worthy of visiting.  However!..it should be done in the coldest part of winter.  Because we’re at the end of the winter months, the heat has really hit us hard. 

Once our walks were done we headed back to pick up the van and head straight up to Wyndham.  I wasn’t sure what was up here, but it did surprise me.
