Bungle Bungle ex Halls Creek

Departing Halls Creek your flight heads northward, crossing the Panton River. On approach to Alice Downs Homestead, the concentric rings of the Mcintosh Hills can be seen to the northwest. These hills can only be appreciated from the air. The flight turns North East and descends to enter the aerial curcuit over the Purnululu National Park, commonly known as the Bungle Bungle. The contrast of the sheer sandstone walls to the west and the behhive shaped towers to the east offer fantastic photo opportunities.

Your flight crosses the Ord River, which is a mighty torrent in the wet season. The Bellburn airfield, operated by CALM, can be seen below. Licensed 4WD operators conduct ground touring and overnight stays within the National Park and Bellburn Camp. Upon leaving the circuit, 3 rivers, the Elvire, Panton and Ord all join up and carve a single path across the landscape to empty into Lake Argyle to the north. The flight tracks south following the Albert Edward and Elvire Range, turning Westward where features such as Soar Tooth Gorge, Palm Springs oasis, Ruby Queen and Mt Bradley gold mines, and China Wall- a lenghty vein of exposed Quartz, which seem to divide the Old Halls Creek Township and present day Halls Creek.
