BUNGLE BUNGLES...

Used as a source of wet season sustenance by local aboriginals for thousands of years, the white population did not note the beautiful and unique Bungle Bungles until the 1980’s when our government established the Purnululu National Park. The area is rich in Aboriginal art and there are also many burial sites so the local Aboriginal traditional owners make a valuable contribution to its management.

350 million years of history, 200,000 hectares in area including 45,000 hectares of the Bungle Bungle Range, Purnululu National Park (1987) and 600 metres above sea level, our treasure lies south east of the Warmun Community.

The Bungle Bungles is open between April & November and visits via Warmun Roadhouse based “Heliworks Helicopter Tours” is very popular since ground access is restricted to 4WD (Tracks are rugged & unforgiving). The roadhouse has a caravan securing yard to store equipment while those  that are adventurous, treck into the National Park.

The Bungle Bungles are a popular and breathtaking site to visit with their 300 metre “Bee Hive”, domed shaped, sandstone rock formations and gorges. The tropical pools surrounded by Livistonia Fan Palms, magnificent gorges, caves and Aboriginal rock art along with an abundant variety of plant and animal life all combine to provide a few days of breathtaking exploration. Birdlife is awe-inspiring with more than 120 bird species to amaze the budding ornithologists.
