Amazing Drive
The road into the Bungle Bungles was predicted to be very
rough but proved to be a
smoother ride than expected, with amazing scenery all
the way. We set up camp with an expected 3 night stay, and chilled catching up
on travel journals and blogs. The next day we set out to see the south side of
the park with the classic bungle landscape. We took lots of water and set out
to do a 10km hike that would take in Cathedral Gorge and Whipsnake Gorge. We
were trekking on a dry river bed and the combination of sand and rock underfoot
with very little shade made for very hard work. By the time we reached
Whipsnake Gorge we were exhausted and desperate for a swim! But there’s no
swimming in the park as it was desert like terrain. 
Although we were impressed by the scenery, we discovered
that we only enjoy walking in the heat when there is a swim at the end and
without showers at the campsite we were hot and bothered. Simon and I decided
to quit while we were ahead and packed up the next day!!
