Only a few hours to the Bungle Bungles campground so leisurely departure and other than a few temper tantrums no problems.
Everyone up early next morning with Robbie waking them all at 5.30. The road into Purnululu national park is a 4wd track so the caravan is left behind at the campground and we leave on our day trip with a picnic lunch. Left at 7.30am and got to Bungle Bungles at 9.30, with a few stops for vomiting! Very twisty and undulating track with corrugations and sharp rocks for 50km. Lots of cars stopped with tyre blowouts, luckily; or maybe skillfully we were okay.
Walk around Bungle Bungles was amazing with the banded sandstone hills.
Also nearby Cathedral Gorge was stunning with brilliant acoustics.
After lunch we made it to the northern end if the park to trek into Echidna Gorge. Narrow sandstone gorge at some points about 1m wide and 70 to 100m deep, extending about 500m. Really cool and picturesque.
All the kids did really well with the trekking, especially Echidna as there was lots of clambering over rocks.
Mabel Downs campsite was great with good communal camp fire at night.
