Given our remote location and an even more remote destination it was an easy decision to book a 4WD trip into the Bungle Bungles rather than drive the 5o kms into the Purnululu National Park. We felt it wasn't worth risking our Hilux on a gravel road than could be mostly good but if something …
The Bungle Bungles must be as far away from where we live in Dromana as just about anywhere in Australia. So you could say it was the ultimate place for us to visit on our big caravan trip. After leaving Lake Argyle and stopping to top up supplies in Kunnanurra we arrived mid afternoon at …
Day 29 - Darwin to Jabiru Packed up and headed to shops at Humpty Doo to stock up. Drove towards Jabiru. Stopped at Mamukala bird hide. A short walk lead us to the actual hide. Lots of information about the birds and the seasons recognised by the local indigenous people was available. Had a good …

Our bus was a bit late arriving but we were soon on our way south to the outskirts of Alice Springs. The Sanctuary and its owner operator/kangaroo rescuer, Brolga, was made famous on the BBC documentary series, Kangaroo Dundee. Part of the documentary was screening on a TV in the bus as we drove out. …

Day 12 - Kings Canyon Even with a school group camped next to us we managed a very peaceful sleep, far away from the rest of civilisation. After breakfast we packed some lunch and plenty of water for a day of walking in Kings Canyon. Our first stop was the Kathleen Springs walk. It was …
