I woke early this morning and saw that it was going to be a gorgeous sunrise....so I went for a walk with my camera.
Lovely colours of all the different grasses...it is a really colourful campground.
So many birds....
Our toilet....the campsite is very basic...no electricity and no showers...but very quiet (except for the birds).
Pete and his morning cuppa...
The walks in the Bungle Bungle Range are divided into the Northern and Southern ends of the range. We returned to the South first where you find the famous beehive domes and Cathedral Gorge.
A walk amongst the domes...
Isn't it just the most incredible place ?!
We followed a meandering uneven, sandy creek bed amongst the towering beehive domes and honeycomb rocks to the iconic natural amphitheatre, Cathedral Gorge. Breathtaking !
See me?
Looking up...
After enjoying the southern end of the range we then set off to the northern region. We stopped at Kungkalanayi Lookout on the way where we had a 360 degree view including the western escarpment of the Bungle Bungle Range.
The northern end....quite different...
The start of the walk to the Echidna Chasm is along a dry creek bed lined with Livistona palms. Between 11am and 1pm depending on the time of year Echidna "glow" when the sun is overhead.
Part of the Escarpment Trail....beautiful woodlands and spinifex hummocks.
This evening Pete and I climbed up a hill very near our campground to watch the sun set.
The range with the sun shining on it...
The mountains really did glow....
Yet another stunning sunset...
