The Bungle Bungles

They call the Bungle Bungles rock formations ‘The Bee Hives’ because of their dome shapes. As I was taking photos in the long shadows of the afternoon I became increasingly irritated by what I thought were sticky flies!
They were crawling in my nose and mouth and every time I changed a roll of film about half a dozen flew out of the camera back!

I decided to pack up and make a run for it as I was smothered and could hardly see or breathe. Upon closer inspection I realized they were Australian Native Bees, luckily they are a stingless variety. It turned out the Bungle Bungles were ‘Bee Hives’ by name and by nature!
