Bungle Bungles and Jerry Cans

If you camp at the free camp near the entrance and leave next morning allowing 3hrs to get there pay your fees and then go to either end do the walks ,then go to the end stay the night do the walks have helicopter ride and leave.You can buy fuel any where so why people need to cart fuel amazing me ,remember to wrap the cans in carpet with tape other wise they will rub in holes in them,

Hi Lloyd,

Take your time in the Bungles allowing time for sunset viewing as well as the walks around the beehives and in the northern section (Echidna chasm). Either campground is fine - they are national park type grounds with flushing loos and occasional firepits (if fires are still allowed). I dont see the point of taking the time to pack up from one campground and then set up in the other one. You need to drive to all the main attractions so better to spend the time driving to the attractions and then having time to really take them all in.

As for carrying fuel, its generally best to keep it off the roof-rack if you can to keep your centre of gravity as low as possible. It also takes a bit of effort to get them up there. If you have fuel carriers on your trailer why not use them? (having said that we do carry both spare wheel and fuel on our RR when necessary to do so).

Have a great trip,

Cheers,

Val.

Night at each. The north and south are considerably different and its quite rough between them so better to minimise the driving from one end to the other

We did as get outmore suggests.

Getting there during the day we did some walks at the northern end and camped at Kurrajong, doing more walks early. The second night at Walardi to see the southern sections. We did walks early and late in the day as the days were too hot for strenuous walking. It cools down overnight, and first thing in the morning can be very cold. We got sort of three days touring out of two nights.

Do you really need to take extra fuel?

Hi Lloyd,

I've been there twice and both times I stayed at Kurrajong for the 2 or 3 nights. The reason for this was simply that it saved me having to set up twice. I didn't think that the drive between each end of the park was long enough or rough enough to worry about moving camps.

Hi Lloyd,
Sounds like we are doing the same trip as you this year, visiting the Gibb river road, Broome, bungle bungles, and tanami rd to Alice , in june july. We are taking an extra jerry can as well as the ones on the camper, for the same reason .
Have a terrific trip , we may see you on the track somewhere
cheers Judy and Laurie

Hello Lloyd, my recollection from our travels to the Bungles late last year is that Kurrajong is generator free, we were able to have fires, stayed for three nights and just enjoyed the peace. You can book your campsite online through the Western Australian National Parks website. If you plan on picking up Booze from Kununurra you can only get heavy beer, wine and spirits after 2pm and can't buy take away booze from anywhere on a Sunday.
Enjoy your travels its a beautiful part of Australia.
