We had been looking forward to a trip to the Bungle Bungle for quite a few years, and now the dream was to come true. We packed the vehicles with tents, folding blow up beds, mattresses, water, food, cooking gear, gas stoves, kettles, and everything we would be needing for 3 nights camping in the areas designated. There was no way we could take the caravans into this area, as it was we had almost 100 watercrossings, some just small amounts of water and others the water was a lot deeper.
We set up our tent, ( borrowed from Jenny) and watched Dick putting his together - he had it all layed out, and to his amazement, he had forgotten to pack the poles. Luckily the "Host" had recently found a set of poles left by a recent camper which they were able to "make do" to put up the tent.
Next morning we drove to the airport to see about getting a Helicopter flight, and we were lucky enough to get the next flight. It was MAGIC !!! It was just unbelievable how wonderful these rock formations looked from the air, and so close ! We had a half hour trip all over the area and back and saw so much of the Domes etc.
In the afternoon we drove to the Domes and walked around them, then to Cathedral Rock.
Next day we drove to Mini Palms and Echidna Gorge and after the guys walked through the gorges we had a picnic lunch before returning to the Visitors centre where we purchased a book of photos of the Bungle Bungle to keep as memento of our visit.
