Understand

Purnululu is the name given to the sandstone area of the Bungle Bungle Range by the Kija Aboriginal people. The range is situated within the park, rises up to 578 metres above sea level and is famous for the unusual and striking sandstone domes striped with alternating orange and grey bands. The banding of the domes is due to differences in clay content and porosity of the sandstone layers. The grey banding is cyanobacteria which grows on the layers where moisture accumulates. The orange bands are layers of oxidised iron compounds that dry out too quickly for the cyanobacteria to form.

Get In

Access to the park by road is via Spring Creek Track from the Great Northern Highway approximately 250km south of Kununurra. The track is 53 km long and is only useable in the dry season (1 April to 31 December) for 4WD vehicles. It will take approximately 3 hours to negotiate that distance to the visitor centre. Access by air is less painful and helicopter flights are available from Turkey Creek Roadhouse (Warmun), 187km south of Kununurra, or by light aircraft from Kununurra.
