Purnululu National Park

The 3200 square kilometer national park is located approx. 180 km south of Kununurra and received its fame through its colorful sandstone formations, which were only discovered in 1982, the Bungel Bungels.

getting there

The driveway branches off from Great Northern Hwy and is unfortunately only possible with four-wheel drive approx. 1-1½ hours for the 60 km to the ranger station, depending on the road conditions - or by plane. There are flight options from Kununurra,Turkey Creek andHall's Creek By plane or helicopter, but you get a better overview from the helicopter because it can fly lower and slower, but this is also a question of cost.

Fees / permits

The fee is payable at the ranger's office

mobility

Only with your own vehicle (all-wheel drive).

Tourist Attractions

There are also opportunities for sightseeing flights in the park. There are 3 officially supervised places with sanitary facilities for camping. The excursion destinations are a few kilometers away, so you should plan at least 2 days there, as they are also associated with longer hikes. In addition to the "beehives" themselves, there are also those Cathedral Gorge, Froghole Gorge, Mini Palms, Piccaninny Gorge, Walanginjdji Lookout and the EchidnaChasm to visit. The latter should be around the Schedule lunchtime, as the sun is high and shines directly into the gorge, which is only one meter wide, making the rocks glow. The park is closed between January and March.
