About this park
The Purnululu National Park is World Heritage Listed and for good reason!
Check out the 350-million-year-old, striped sandstone domes of the Bungle Bungle Range from ground level or in the air - drones are not permitted in the park, but a helicopter or light plane tour is an awesome photo opportunity.
Wander along ancient creek beds and through striking gorges that transform into a golden paradise late in the day.
Load up the four-wheel drive and visit in the dry season during April to November and camp at one of the campgrounds in the park.
Review - Truly remarkable
This should be on your bucket list… If you come, make sure that you stay for a few days and try to include a chopper flight as well as a walk to Echidna Chasm and Cathedral Gorge. I am sure that there is even more to do here.” CorvettePete - Trip Advisor.
