RV TRAVEL
ON TO THE BUNGLES
After stocking up on all supplies, we continued on
the Great Northern Highway. Our next stop was
Purnululu National Park, and again we knew our
Jayco was not up to the challenging 4WD track in.
Van storage is available at Warmun Roadhouse,
53km from the turn-off to Purnululu, or at the
Bungle Bungle Caravan Park shortly along the
turn-off.
We proceeded with our 4WD and stayed for
two memorable nights at the Bungle Bungle
Wilderness Lodge (also check the Bungles Safari
Camp). The walks and birdlife were outstanding…
I will never forget the sunsets over the beautiful
Bungle Bungles.
Halls Creek is, well, hard to describe (nicely).
Suffice it to say that Wolfe Creek Crater, best seen
from the air or on a hike, is only 130km to the south.
Besides Purnululu, our favourite stop along
the Great Northern is just south-east of Fitzroy
Crossing: the Fitzroy River Lodge. The caravan
park at the bottom of the property is remarkable,
and every time we have stayed there, we have
added more days to enjoy the birdlife.
Broome pins the western end of the Savannah
Way, and what a way to end this journey. Spend
a bit of time here before you move on.
And there you are: it’s just a bit of a drive between
Cairns and Broome.
And what visit to Broome would be complete
without a Cable Beach camel ride?
