The Purnululu National Park is home to the Bungle Bungle range. Located 250km south of Kununurra and 108km east of Halls Creek, this amazing place is a sight to see - from the ground and from the air. With its deep chasms and epic gorges, the Bungle Bungles was inscribed a World Heritage Area in 2003.
Twenty million years of weathering have produced the eroded sandstone towers and banded beehive-shaped structures of the Bungle Bungle Range. The formation of these sandstone domes are now an iconic visual when we think of the Kimberley. Cathedral Gorge and Piccaninny Creek and Echidna Chasm are just three of Purnululu’s famous sites.
Aboriginal people have been living in the area for over 20,000 years and continue to maintain a strong connection to this ancient landscape. This country is very important and includes sites that feature rock art, hand stencils and ochre grindings.
There is a continual connection and association from the dreamtime through to now which is expressed through stories, songs, art and visits to country. Local people continue to use resources in Purnululu that have sustained their lives for thousands of years. These are mainly spiritual resources which are deeply important.

The Bungle Bungle range contains the most outstanding example of cone karst in sandstones anywhere in the world and owes its existence and uniqueness to several interacting geological, biological, erosional and climatic phenomena. - Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions
