3- Purnululu In The Wet – 2 weeks
Piccaninny Gorge and the 5 Fingers
Où : PURNULULU NATIONAL PARK (BUNGLE BUNGLE) - KIMBERLEY - WESTERN AUSTRALIA
Durée : Two weeks
Points forts : 5 Fingers, Piccaninny Gorge, Black Rock Pool, Cathedral Gorge
Langue : The tour is originally in English
Purnululu was only known to Aboriginal people and a few adventurers. Listed as a World Heritage Site since 2003, Purnululu remains a mythical and isolated world of breathtaking natural beauty.
Purnululu National Park is a mythical and isolated world of breathtaking natural beauty. Beyond Cathedral Gorge, beyond the famous domes and Piccaninny Gorge, in the heart of the park, in a world forgotten by tourists, carved by almost 400 million years of erosion, snuggled up in lost times, five small gorges are hidden: “The Five Fingers”.
The "Five Fingers" are, therefore, five small gorges, all five different from each other. Sometimes 200 meters high, the cliffs shrink, leaving the walker with only the space necessary for his progress. The light is dimmed; the orange-red of the rock collars the daylight, making it a light pink. The air is cooling. We evolve in a world of unreal dimensions.

Au-delà de la tranquillité majestueuse de Black Rock Pool
In the heart of Purnululu National Park, in a world forgotten by tourists, carved out by almost 400 million years of erosion, snuggled up in lost times.
Five small gorges are hidden: the “5 Fingers”.
The “Five Fingers” are, therefore, five small gorges, all five different from each other. Sometimes 200 meters high, the cliffs that form these gorges shrink, leaving the walker with only the space necessary for his progress. The light is dimmed, and the orange-red rock colours the daylight a light pink. The air is cooling. We evolve in a world of unreal dimensions.
The first gorge, Finger 1, is a series of increasingly long pools wedged between sandstone walls smoothed by the summer rains.
On entre dans la seconde gorge par un tunnel. C’est une balade agréable le long de couloirs naturels qui se terminent sur des bassins.
The third gorge is full of surprises: a source of clear water discovered on purple rocks and a well that seems bottomless.
Et une grotte qui ne mène pas nulle part
You must invent your way between large blocks of sandstone to reach the well and the long, somewhat mysterious tunnel of the fourth gorge.
During my first visit, I preferred the Finger 5 because of its natural charm, which I discovered as an offering.
We will camp for four days in the Piccaninny Gorge, near a small body of water. I will take care of the dinner while you enjoy the swimming pools near the camp.
For those who are tempted, it is possible to get on a helicopter at the end of our walk to see from above what we will have discovered from below.
We are sorry, there are no reviews yet for this tour.
