Bungle Bungle National Park

Purnulu National Park( Bungle Bungle) northern end
Another stunning wildflower

Day 118
We pack up and after shopping we head south to Bungle Bungles. It is a 3 and half hour drive on bitumen then not sure what the road in to Nat park is like as it can take up to 3 hours. We fuel up at Turkey Creek which is a roadhouse with campground and accom. as well as an aboriginal community nearby. This is also where flights to the national park leave from and as caravans are not allowed in to the park people either leave their vans and drive in for a day or camp a night or two. We encounter a bit of traffic both oncoming and heading in the same direction but the road is generally much better than we had expected and it only takes 1 and half hours. We check in at the visitor centre and drive a further 7km north to Kurrajong campground. We are booked for a couple nights but will stay another if we need to. Campground is basic with only toilets no showers or power but we find a nice spot next to a fire place and wood has been supplied which is nice. The evening is quite mild and we enjoy being back in the bush.
