Discover the adventure of a lifetime at one of Western Australia’s most striking geological features – the Bungle Bungle Range in World Heritage-listed Purnululu National Park.

View the dazzling formations on a scenic flight, camp under the stars, and explore hidden gorges and watering holes. For walkers of all levels, trails abound, including day hikes to the stunning Cathedral Gorge and Echidna Chasm. A site with Aboriginal cultural significance, Purnululu National Park captivates everyone who visits.

Start your Purnululu adventure from Perth, a three-hour flight away from Kununurra (Goonoonoorrang), and then drive 200 kilometres south. Fancy a road trip? You’ll need at least two days to drive 3000-kilometres from Perth. Keep in mind that the national park is only accessible by four-wheel drive.

More than 350 million years old and unknown to many until 1983, the Bungle Bungle Range is one of the most unique and captivating natural landmarks on the planet. From the air and on foot, its vast orange-and-black sandstone structures are spectacular.

Experience a four-wheel drive tour and eco-camping sites, and allow a hidden world of gorges and water pools to reveal itself as you explore the beauty of this ancient national park.

Tourists are advised to check for alerts and road/park closures before commencing their travel on Emergency WA and Park Alerts.
