Jike in the Bungle Bungle

NORTHERN WALKS

Echidna Chasm

2 km return: Easy to moderate.

Named after an Echidna sighting, this walk begins at the base of a sandstone dome and continues upstream along a rocky creek bed into the chasm. The chasm is almost 200 metres high with only a few metres separating the towering cliffs and ends suddenly being closed in by a vertical rock face. This is mostly a cool, shady walk except at midday when the sun is directly overhead.

Mini Palms Gorge

5 km return: Moderate to difficult.

Beginning easy, this scenic walk is at the heart of the main Bungle Range and follows a rocky creek bed upstream. Starting in a wide open area, the walk then becomes more difficult as visitors are faced with a narrowing closed area where they must slide between and over conglomerate boulders. The end of the walk sees a viewing platform from where dwarfed Livistona Palms can be viewed.

SOUTHERN WALKS

Cathedral Gorge

3 km return: Easy to moderate.

Beginning easy, this walk is shared with Piccaninny Creek until the trail breaks off to follow another creek bed which leads to Cathedral Gorge. Becoming more moderate, visitors will have to pass over rock ledges, waterholes and eroded potholes before coming to the final display of a natural amphitheatre carved out of the sandstone dome walls.

Domes Trail

1km circuit: Easy.

This short walk extends from, rejoins and can be a continuation of the Cathedral Gorge trail. An easy walk along a flat trail is where visitors are able to walk amongst the famous Beehive Domes.
