After around ten minutes, the striped hills of the Bungle Bungles appeared. The domes and stripes are all due to the movement of water through the sandstone, eroding it into domes, and leaching some layers of sediment more than others.

We had a great view of the domes, and peered down into deep canyons to see palms and water holes.

The pilot even showed us recent signs of lightning strikes – the build-up and wet seasons are particularly violent in the Kimberley.
