The Bungles on the way to Broome

WELL after  lake argyle..it was home to the discovery caravan park and up next morning to continue our journey down to Turkey Creek...and the Bungle Bungles....a rock formation on the world heritage list....we flew over it last time ...this time a 53klm drive taking 2 hours ,6 creek crossings, dirt and corrugations was what waited for us....a new caravan park since we were here last ..we went down to the overflow non powered $25 a night ..only us there bonus ! ...up and gone at 6:00am beat the tour buses..it was pretty much 2 hours to get to the visitors centre...
the Bungles were only discovered by europeans in the mid 80's........might be a quiz question ?
 

mrs bouqet  preparing

one of 6 or 7  river/creek crossings you would not get into this area during the wet !

julie likes cows ! 
the grass is almost red in places I thought it was the dust but it is actuallly the colour of the grass !

the spinifex is just amazing light green dark green and inbetween

the walk in  along a river bed alittle tough on the feet  
grass just growing off the cliff face

looking out over the osmond range
