One thing that just occurred to me looking at that forecast, there's going to be no clouds to make the sunrise or sunset shots any different!

It's all going to come down to the foreground rather than the sky. Will be more challenging to find the right spot I guess.

Got prices for the helicopter flight - $520 for a 48 minute flight over the Bungle Bungles.

Depart Purnululu airstrip for the south west tip of the massif to view Y Gorge, Deep Gorge and ‘The Twins’. Continue on to the highest point of the Bungle Bungle and the spectacular Red Rock Gorges of the north-west. Your helicopter then flies towards the eastern side of the massif, to encounter incredible eroded sandstone formations and a maze of gorges. Fly along the southern face to the mouth of Piccaninny Gorge, follow Piccaninny Creek past Cathedral Gorge and the famous orange and black striped beehive shaped domes
Sounds great, and I guess would open up some different photographic opportunities (like these). It would be nice if they also set down in some locations to get some different shots.

Not cheap, but a once in a lifetime opportunity, probably worth doing.
