Purnululu - beehives, Cathedral Gorge & chopper flight

This place is iconic, and World Heritage protected for a reason - it's just stunning.  It's spectacular, and we were lucky enough to have a whole day here, followed by the scenic helicopter flight today which gave us a completely different view of the whole area. 


The start of the beehives. The banded colour is caused by the iron in the sandstone coming to th surface, and in the presence of water bacteria turn the bands black. 


Andy inside Cathedral Gorge, this space is awe-inspiring
