Purnululu National Park Mini Palms Walk and Bloodwoods Lookout |
|
Notes: After lunch on Day 2 we went for the Mini Palms walk taking the side trip to Bloodwoods Lookout which is on the way. It was quite easy and quick to reach the lookout which gave views of the range and valley floor. Back out to our real walking track, we headed towards the cliffs. We walked along the creek bed for a while before we climbed into a valley proper. Here we were challenged with some boulder hopping before we reached the palm lined chasm. With the sun above the chasm walls they light up with a bright orange glow, a sight to behold. Then its back down the track to the carpark and then onto the campground. |
