Day 145 – 7th June 2018 – The Bungle Bungles, Echidna Chasm

Last time we were here in The Bungle Bungle’s with the Camping Crew in 2015, we were told to do the Cathedral Gorge walk first and the Echidna Chasm walk second.  As a result, we missed the time where the Chasm lights up around midday.  So Col and I decided to make sure we got to the Chasm by midday to see this.  We both loved the walk and did manage to get to the Chasm on time.  The drive from the Caravan Park to Echidna Chasm takes approximately 2 hours.  The Echidna Chasm walk is about 2km  return and takes about 1 hour as most of the walk is over a rocky, uneven ground.

At the last ladder in the Chasm we came across these two beautiful green spotted frogs on the Chasm wall.

There were also some very cute bats hanging off the boulders that were caught in the Chasm.  Both Col and I tried to take some clear photos of them but we couldn’t get a picture worth posting.  There is so much life around if you take the time to look as you walk.

We then went and had a look at the Osmond Lookout which is quite close to the entrance to Echidna Chasm.  No photos can really show the beauty of this place, you need to go and see it for yourself.

There is a large communal camp fire in the evenings and both Col and I have enjoyed sitting by the fire and chatting to other travellers in the evening.  There is a Bull and a Cow that wanders around the property and makes us think of Josse the cow and Giralia Station.
