Safety information
Plan when to visit. Read this safety information about bushwalking. Consider traveling with a personal location beacon (PLB). In the event you need to be rescued it could save your life!
This park is very remote (add - Travelling in remote areas link) with limited available supplies and untreated bore water. Visitors must carry in all water, food, fuel and other supplies. You will need supplies for three days (even if you are staying one) and enough fuel for a minimum of 300km. Purnululu National Park covers vast distances, so a day trip is not recommended.
Untreated bore water is available at campgrounds. Please treat water before consuming.
No-flush pit toilets are the only personal hygiene facility.
Drive slowly and carefully. Maximum speed limit is 50km per hour on internal roads and 10km per hour in the campgrounds.
