Theses cone shaped sculptured rocks stand in towers of beehive shapes often alternating orange and grey bands are are up to 578 metres high.
The road in is accessible only in the dry season and is 4wd only and 53 kms from the main highway. The road is very rough and took us 2 hours. We left the caravan at Spring Creek and lovely free camp spot and set off for an adventure overnight!!!!

One of the many water crossings into the Bungles, it was about 750cms deep.The drive was very interesting and after buying our camp pass we headed to the Cathedral Gorge. The park itself about 60 ams from the north to south and we had decided to visit the south area first and camp in the north campsite for the night. The walk in to Cathedral gorge was not too far about 3.5kms round trip but it was heating up by the hour,by 9.30am it was 38deg. There were not many people around as we have missed the main tourist time of June - August.We of course make sure we have lots of water and the usual insect spray and sun screen. I am currently using a hat that we bought for Lloyd to replace his sea sprayed old one. I as yet have not found a hat to my liking so wear his Aussie drover one which works well at the moment. |
