Bungles beehives
While the girls went on a helicopter ride, I went for a 6 hour walk up Picaninny creek. It was truly a highlight of the trip for me. The formations on this side of the Bungle Bungle range were amazing. The red and black alternating layers made for a visually spectacular setting. And the contrast between the rocks and the bright green of the spinifex grass was beautiful.
The trail up Picaninny creek is unmarked - you're just supposed to walk upstream. It also gives a lot of freedom to explore up side channels. I wandered up a few side streams and had some great solitary moments among the formations. There's something magical about being by youself in a remote and spectacular area like this. At least mostly alone. Every 30 minutes a helicopter tour flew overhead, and every hour a fixed wing plane also came by. I saw the girls go by, but they didn't wave...
