The Bungle Bungles

The track into the Bungle Bungles is 53km of Kimberley dirt road, involves 43 creek crossings but it was worth every single corrugation.

The walks were fantastic especially Echidna Chasm, in parts only an arm span wide, but 300 metre high walls. The sun only hits the bottom of the chasm at midday.Similarly you were just dwarfed inside Cathedral Gorge.The red rock and Livistonia Palms were unique.

We splurged on a helicopter ride. Yes they do have a helicopter big enough to fit all the Cafferys. Tip to future travellers do not allow your 4 year old to sit in a seat with a voice activated headset.

We had to store the caravan and tent it during our stay in the Bungles. Luckily there is a secure Landcruiser storage area at the entrance to the park who were kind enough to let us store our van.

We have received a number of emails and blog comments regarding the proximity of our children to crocodiles (see the Kimberley's post). Can I assure everyone we vetted the appropriate proximity to crocodiles with the Responsible Parenting League (RPL). The RPL have designated the minimum child-to-croc distance (CTCD) as the distance the aforementioned child can out sprint an antagonized crocodile. We never breached the CTCD. However, we thank everyone for their concern.
