The Bungle Bungles—Purnululu National Park


The Bungle Bungles National Park, or Purnululu National Park as it is officially called, is mentioned whenever the Kimberley is mentioned.

The marketing noise that surrounds the park is as impressive as the astounding Bungle Bungle range itself.

Especially when you keep in mind that the area was only "discovered" by a film team in 1983...

Purnululu National Park was established in 1987 and skyrocketed to world fame in no time at all, which is not surprising.

The Bungle Bungle Range is one of the most spectacular and memorable places I have seen in my life, and I have seen some awesome places.

A night in the Bungles should be on the must do list of every Kimberley traveller.
