No other way to describe Echidna Chasm at the north end of the Bungle Bungle National Park. These were John’s words, and he was spot on.
Echidna Chasm is one of the “must do” walks here, and with very good reason. You walk up the creek bed and as the gorge closes in, the walls get closer together – only an arm’s width apart – and the sky nearly disappears. The gap at the top is only just a gap, and the walls are so, so high. The chasm seems endless! Standley Chasm near Alice Springs doesn’t even rate, compared to this. We never stopped saying how amazing it was all the way in and all the way out.

The boys had fun as the walls got closer together. And these photos don’t need to be rotated!

This last photo is taken at the end of the chasm, after making a right angle turn and winding along for 200m, you end up at a dead end, just past this chock stone.

Echidna Chasm was an absolute highlight of the Bungle Bungle visit.
