Description

Barrawulla Walk Distance: 2 km loop (1 -2 hours) Grade: 2 (easy) Over millions of vears sandstone at Caranbirini has been eroded into towering organ pipe structures. Interpretive signs describe this remarkable process and its evolution from ancient marine sediments. Take your camera. The weathered, coloured textures of the sandstone and its unusual pancake appearance make this walk a visual treat. The scenery is stunning in the early morning or late afternoon when the colour is most intense. Carambirni watertole walk Distance: 100 m (5 minutes) Grade: 2 (easy) Walk quietly up to the waterhole and you should find the busy activity of birds drinking and feeding. Late in the dry season the waterhole is often a crowded refuge for many animals, but at other times you are still likely to see dabbling pygmy-geese or kingfishers. honeyeaters and finches perched nearby. The importance of the waterhole birds and the Garambarini dreaming story for this site are presented at the viewing area. Jagududgu Walk Distance: 7.5 km loop (4-5 hours) Grade: 3 (moderate) This track extends into the spinifex grassland that surrounds the sandstone formations. The track is flat with hard black soil in parts for the first 300 metres. It then climbs a rocky slope for 300m to a lookout with good views of organ pipe formations. From here the track continues over undulating terrain before climbing the base of the escarpment where it joins the Barrawulla Walk.
