On this day our main focus was Echidna Gorge
This is at the northern end of the Bungle Bungles. The colours in the rocks are still amazing, but here one doesn't see the dome effect as we saw yesterday.
We were so busy admiring the view as we walked along that we didn't notice the sign telling us to turn right to get to Echidna Chasm. So we climbed a hill and found ourselves at Osmond Range Lookout (another couple did the same thing, much to the disgust of the wife as it was quite a steep climb)
Back on track and we were walking up a dry river bed of stones
Photography inside the chasm was a challenge, but here is one result of my efforts
When we came upon these boulders I was going to wait there for Brandt, but another couple appeared between the boulders and convinced me that it wasn't as hard as it looked. I'm glad they talked me into continuing. It was well worth it
We also had to negotiate a couple of ladders.
There was a sign telling us not to stop under the fallen boulders, but to keep moving. I guess these are the fallen boulders:
All that was left to do now was to walk back out of the cool of the shade of the chasm into the heat of the sun.
All in all a couple of hours well spent.
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the Bungle Bungles.
