Left Fitzroy Crossing on the 13th. Investigated one possible wayside stop at Margaret River but looked crowded at 1pm, interesting bridge forms the entrance more like a broken down causeway. Spent little time in Halls Creek – looked like a fairly rough town lots of mesh. Passed the top end of the Tanami track – sign said it was closed due to recent rain. Finished the day at the privately run station stay style caravan park at the entrance to the Bungle Bungles (Purnululu National Park). Basic facilities, each bathroom building houses two bathrooms, corrugated iron walls, no lining and no roof, each bathroom has solar powered light, toilet and shower with no dividers, if your lucky the gas cylinder provided for each buildings hot water is still charged.
Fantastic day walking the southern end of the Bungle Bungles. The colours are glorious and you feel like taking a photo at every turn. Rough track in about 75km of twisty road with some loose rock and some moderate corrugations. No access for caravans although offroad van would readily manage the road, so we parked at the caravan park at the entrance.
The walks included I competed included Cathedral Gorge, The Window, and the Picanny Lookout. Cathedral Gorge had a very peaceful atmosphere and spent some time soaking it in.
