BUNYERROO GORGE
We pulled up for a BBQ in this beautiful gorge. The stone here has been dated at 530 million years old. After rains this gorge would be filled with water from the surrounding ranges. Debris in the trees show that the Landcruiser would be totally covered following these rains. You have to pay attention to local weather reports, as although it may be fine here cooking the barby, there could be a deluge 30kms away resulting in a flash flood that could end the trip real quick.
BRACHINA GORGE
This area is home to the very rare; “ yellow footed rock wallaby”. We were fortunate to see these Marsupials in their natural habitat, “a real treat.”
EMU PARADE
There are plenty of Emu in the park. The local rangers had told me to look out for parents with chicks as this was the right time of year. We spotted this group crossing a dry river bed. It is the male that plays guardian until the chicks reach maturity, & this bloke was doing a fine job.
