Overview
Purnululu is one of Australia's most distinctive landscapes: the Bungle Bungle range of beehive-shaped sandstone domes up to 250 m tall, banded in orange and grey stripes. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is gloriously remote, 300 km from the nearest town Kununurra, making the journey part of the adventure.
