About Purnululu National Park
Purnululu National Park protects the Bungle Bungle Range, a collection of beehive-shaped sandstone domes striped in orange and black bands of oxidised minerals and lichen. Hidden within the range, narrow gorges like Cathedral Gorge open into vast natural amphitheatres, and the remote, hard-to-reach location keeps this UNESCO World Heritage site feeling genuinely wild.
