#travellerswonderland The Mini Palms Gorge Trail is 4.4km return from the Bloodwood carpark. There are steep slopes, narrow edges and large boulders to climb over, under or squeeze between. Climb the stairs to reach two viewing platforms which are surrounded by Livistona palms. Taking the trail into Mini Palms Gorge is one of the best ways of experiencing the sheer scale of the Bungle Bungle escarpment. The first bit of the trail follows a stony creek bed and it can get quite hot. #australia #westernaustralia #australiatrip

#closetonature Echidna Chasm is one of the highlights of the World Heritage Site of the Bungle Bungles in Purnululu National Park. The narrow gorge is located 19km north of the visitor's centre. The walk trail is short but has rocky sections that require some moderate climbing. The Echidna Chasm walk trail is 2 kilometres return from the carpark and has steep-sided gorge walls up to 200 metres high and barely a metre wide in places. It features prehistoric Livistona palms and gorge walls exhibiting extraordinary colours. #australia #australiatrip #westernaustralia #awesomepic

#closetonature The moderate 4km return Cathedral Gorge walk trail is located in Cathedral Gorge, an astonishing geological formation with amazing acoustics, natural amphitheater of red rocks, located within the ranges of Purnululu National Park or the Bungle Bungle Ranges. The Top Trail features unusual bee-hive striped formations and deep gorges, making it one-of-the most fascinating geological landmarks and one-of-two World Heritage sites in Western Australia. The red rocks here were simply stunning with the blue clear sky.💙 #australiatrip #westernaustralia #awesomepic

#hikingtrails The 2.8km return trail to the Piccaninny Creek Lookout at Purnululu National Park gives you an impressive overall view. Walking to the lookout involves a reasonably easy walk (grade 3) negotiating the stony creek bed of Piccaninny Creek. You will observe giant rock formations and fantastic views along the stony creek bed of Piccaninny Creek as you traverse. The creek bed is a great example of how outside erosive forces shape the land. The creek bed may contain water after a rainfall, which creates vibrant reflections that are appealing for the visitors. The temperatures can get very hot (up to 50 degrees), you might want to prefer a morning or a late afternoon walk with plenty of water with you. #australiatrip #westernaustralia #awesomepic
