Purnululu - The Bungle Bungles

Culturally significant areas may have restricted access

Purnululu National Park is a remarkable natural landscape known for its distinctive beehive-shaped towers formed from sandstone. The park, covering an area of approximately 2,397 square kilometers, was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2003. This unique geological formation is the result of millions of years of erosion and sedimentation. The area is also rich in Aboriginal culture, with the indigenous Karjaganujaru people having a deep connection to the land.

The park's most famous feature is the Bungle Bungle Range, which is notable for its orange and black striped domes. These unique formations, hidden within the rugged landscape, offer a spectacular sight and are a testament to the natural beauty and geological history of Australia. The park is also home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, including several rare and endangered species, making it a significant area for conservation and natural heritage.
