The Bungle Bungles, Western Australia.
9 months ago
The Bungle Bungles are located in Purnululu National Park in the Kimberly region of WA.
(They were discovered in 1983 by a film team!)
The sandstone formation of the Bungle Bungle ranges is estimated to be 350 million years old.
The impressive striped domes, (almost like giant beehives) originated as the sediment of an old river bed, with layers of clay and sandstone. The oxidization of iron in the sandstone gives the range its beautiful orange colour.
The raging waters of the wet seasons have washed out wide creeks and deep canyons, steep sided rifts and chasms leaving amazing places like “Cathedral Gorge”, which was formed as a result of a massive wet season whirl pool.
A spectacular place to visit but access is by 4 wheel drive only as the track getting in there is pretty rough.
There are a few small water crossings and one particularly nasty bull dust hole seen right at the beginning of this video.
Funnily enough there WAS an actual bull right near the bull dust hole.
I only noticed him after I got out the car to film Richard driving across it and freaked out realizing that after the car disappeared all there was was me……the dust and a BULL!
And yes, he had four legs…..
We have no idea about the disembodied “leg” on the road but it seemed an interesting thing to film.
I hope you enjoy a tiny glimpse into a really beautiful part of Australia!
