Purnululu National Park
(The Bungle Bungles)
Purnululu National Park is only accessible by 4WD from April until December (weather permitting). It's a rough drive from Highway 1 with numerous wash outs, water crossings and corrugations.
The majority of the park, also known as the Bungle Bungles, is impenetrable and can best be seen by helicopter or plane.
The views on the beehive shaped domes is spectacular!
The different layers are clearly visible in the sandstone.
Large amounts of Spinifex (spiky grass that can penetrate the skin) grow on the top of the hills.
In the Kija Aboriginal language Purnululu means sandstone.
The soft layers are constantly being eroded away by wind and water.
