Bungle Bungle National Park
Bungle Bungle National Park is also called the
Purnululu National Park and is home to the peculiar rocky stripped
mounds. The rocky mounds (or Bungle Bungles) are all black and
orange stripes, caused by the black lichen and the orange silica.
There are some fantastic gorges around the Bungle
Bungle National Park, with Echidna Chasm in the northern section
of the park, and Cathedral Gorge in the southern section of the
park. Both are about 1 hours walk from the National Park carpark,
although if you've got the time and the energy the long 10 hour
walk of the Piccaninny Gorge is very good.
Other gorges within the northern section of the
park are inaccessible on the ground, although is amazing to see
from the air. There are various different scenic flights available
over the Bungle Bungle National Park, although it is definitely
worth it.
