Purnululu is a 4wd onlyl track to get in. We bumped into Dean, Christine, Molly so chatted for a while. Got into camp, ran out of gas, so no cooked meals apart from the first night, which did get done enough to eat.
Day one went to the western side closest to camp, which is very different. The mini palm gorge was spectacular.
The Echidna Chasm (left) likewise was great. The light was golden as it bounced into the narrow hugely tall gap. It's like finding a secret place, except for all the other people.
Left: typical tree, will grow anywhere, no need for soil in particular, just CO2 from the air, sunlight, and a bit of water and nutrients.
Left: the main event: the domes. Mind you day one was also spectacular. The domes are amazing.
The second day, we went to the other side of the parks, which is the main attraction of the park, the big honey pot domes. They were tall, numerous and endless.
The pebbles on the creek bed looked just like the ones in Nice.
We went for quite a walk up various gorges, into lookouts over neighbouring dome areas, and rolled along a very long creek bed with domes on both sides.
Very spectacular. The kids did conk out towards the end, and missed Cathedral Gorge (bottom image here).
