Creek Crater Bungle Bungle Combo Combine the spectacle that is Wolfe Creek Crater and the awesome Bungle Bungle. Departing Halls Creek your flight heads south crossing the edge of the Albert Edward Range. Much of the rugged terrain below is part of extensive and active pastoral properties. The hills have also been a source of golden dreams to pioneers and prospectors from days gone by. Passing over Ruby Plains Station the flight enters the expanse of the Great Sandy Desert, where two rivers cut their way across the desert like life-lines and in the distance the lonely shape of Wolfe Creek Crater, seems to erupt from the desert floor. Following numerous orbits of the crater, allowing for extensive photo opportunities, a course is set northward, passing overhead significant features such as Soar Tooth Gorge, Palm Springs oasis, Ruby Queen and Mt Bradley gold mines, the Panton River and Alice Downs Homestead. The concentric rings of the Mcintosh Hills can be seen to the north west of Alice Downs. The flight turns north east and descends to enter the aerial circuit over the Purnululu National Park, commonly known as the Bungle Bungle. The contrast of the sheer sandstone walls to the west and the beehive shaped towers to the east offer fantastic photo opportunities. Upon leaving the circuit, 3 rivers, the Elvire, Paton and Ord all join up and carve a single path across the landscape to empty into Lake Argyle to the north. China Wall- a lengthy vein of exposed Quartz, and remmnants of the Old Halls Creek Township can be seen as the flight descends into Halls Creek. |
