Purnululu National Park covers vast distances, so a day trip is not recommended.

It is 53km to the Purnululu Visitor Centre from the Great Northern Highway, via the unsealed Spring Creek Track.

Please drive to the conditions and look out for cattle and wildlife. It can take approximately 1.5 - 2 hours to reach the Purnululu Visitor Centre, depending on the road conditions.
