We have ample time to explore this extraordinary World Heritage protected Purnululu National Park, the most famous site being the
Bungle Bungles domes. Rivers created this landscape of unique orange and black striped ‘beehive’ geological formations over a period of 20 million years. Unbelievably, only the locals knew it existed until the early 1980’s; once discovered by others, the area was made a national park in 1987. We take a guided walk (2-3km) along Picanniny Creek to the lookout and then into stunning Cathedral Gorge, where towering rocks create a natural Amphitheatre. This afternoon we have the option of an inspiring scenic helicopter flight over the Bungle Bungles that will surely be a highlight of your trip.
