After some serious washing and food shopping in Kununurra we
headed for the Bungles Bungles. Some parts really do look like beehives. The
place was amazing, very striking. I went on my first helicopter flight which
let us see all of the Bungles and it was spectacular- lots of fun in the
chopper too! On the ground we hiked 12km up Piccanini Creek and into the gorge
and then camped at the most unreal spot next to a waterhole and huge rock wall.
We also liked Echidna and Cathedral gorges.
Then we headed down to Wolfe Creek Crater- where a meteorite hit the ground 300 000 years ago. It was massive and I’m glad I wasn’t there when it happened. That was our last night with the Goldricks as they headed for Alice Springs and we went north-east on the Buntine Highway. On the first afternoon we saw a King Brown that was over 2 meters long. We followed it at a safe distance til it hid in a clump of spinifex.
If all goes well we should be with the Hills and Joyces in 3 days time in Kakadu.
