Located in the East Kimberly region of Western Australia over an area of 239,723 hectares, the Purnululu National Park is an imposing and alluring attraction of the region. The Bungle Bungle Range, in Purnululu National Park, is one of the most fascinating geological landmarks and for this reason the Purnululu National Park is also known as the Bungle Bungle National Park. With its huge expanse of striking banded beehive structures, sandstone cliffs and towers makes the Park a must visit with Travel to Purnululu National Park.

Now declared as a World Heritage Site, Purnululu was nominated for its rich Aboriginal cultural heritage spanning over some 20 000 years. The general public did not know the Bungles until 1986 when a TV crew happened to fly over and film the strange bee hive rock formations. Since then Purnululu has been made into a National Park. The orange and black stripes across the beehive-like mounds, encased in a skin of silica and algae, can be sighted from the south of this fascinating Park. Constant erosion and river movements have formed the huge black and orange striped domes over the last 20 million years.

There are some fantastic gorges around the Bungle Bungle National Park, with Echidna Chasm in the northern section of the park, and Cathedral Gorge in the southern section of the park. Both are about 1 hour's walk from the National Park car park, while for the adventurous lot the long 10 hour walk of the Piccaninny Gorge is very refreshing and thrilling. Other gorges within the northern section of the park are inaccessible on the ground, but offer a breath taking view from the air.
