Nestled in the sweep of the Ord River Valley is the World Heritage Purnululu National Park. Although a mere 250 km south of Kununurra, it was only discovered by the outside world in the early 1980s. The Bungle Bungle sandstone massif dates back some 380 million years, and the striking beehive domes have protected Aboriginal rock art, sacred sites and rare vegetation for centuries. These fragile treasures can be viewed today.

Within the spectacular massif lie Cathedral and Piccaninny Gorge. A visit to either requires a stroll along the ancient creek bed of Piccaninny, amidst the towering striped domes. As you venture deeper into the national park the narrow cleft of Echidna Chasm, and Mini Palms are accessible with a little more effort. The beauty of the park is striking. The Bungle Bungle represent the grandest of the distinctive Kimberley formations.

APT Kimberley Wilderness Adventures offers the best of the Bungle Bungle from the ground up, with overnight accommodation in the heart of Purnululu at our exclusive, award-winning Bungle Bungle Wilderness Lodge.
