Amongsts others, we’ve done two iconics sites during this leg of our trip: Nitmiluk (Katherine Gorge) NT, and Purnululu (Bungle Bungle) WA. Exceptionnaly beautiful but already extremely hot at this time of the year, leading to very early rises to be able to do the numerous walks with minimal exhaustion.
Katherine had the benefit to offer a variety of refreshing waterholes and falls as we could only rely on a bucket of lukewarm water back to camp to cool us down at the Bungle Bungles.
With all the walks we have done lately, we’d like to think there is some improvement in our fitness level! That allows us to feal no guilt with each icecream we jump at whenever we get to a camping ground’s shop, and with our ongoing “gastronomic” bushtucker…
