Featured Image: Roadside rest stop with big pile of rocks on the way to Warmun.
We stopped at Warmun for a helicopter ride over the Bungle Bungles (means lots of mountains). This was in preference to doing the 45 km rugged off road drive into the park to walk up a gorge. Evidently the road in was not the best & Jayne wasn’t up to a really bumpy ride & a gorge walk today. Maybe next lap.
Bridgette: Did I fill up the fuel tank?
From 3,500 feet, Gigantic Tectonic waves can be seen flowing toward the Bungle Bungles. The scale of this place is off the scale. These are the only waves I’ve seen in over 4,000km so I was pretty excited.
Out the back! Rogue tectonic set.
Jayne seems to be getting much better at this helicopter thing. Partly due to Bridgette, our HeliSpirit pilot, who did a great job.
A gorge with gorgeous legs
This place is really big.
Bungle Bungles – Beehive Rocks
Looks just like pebbles on a dry riverbed except we’re flying at 3,500ft.
Beehive-shaped karst sandstone over 250m high
20 million years of erosion can really cut a place up.
Back on the ground and it’s just another little road train pulling out of the road house at Warmun, WA. Then it’s back on the road for us, heading to camp.
One truck, 2 truck, 3 truck? Nah, just one truck!
Free camping tonight beside a dry creek bed near Ord River.
Dry river bed
Quite a few Nomads about. This seems to be a popular spot.
Shouldn’t all these people be at work?
We get back on the road, early, well, maybe about 8am. More driving and another day free camping at Mary Pool Rest Area
