What are the special features of the Purnululu National Park?

The Purnululu National Park is a 350-million-year- vow old site located in East Kimberly region of Western Australia. The Aboriginals have been protectors of this land for 40,000 years.

The park has orange and black striped karst sandstone domes called the Bungle Bungles Range. The range, also known as Bungle Bungles, is often compared to a large beehive. They make a striking image, rising 250 metres above the surrounding savanna grassland. Bungle Bungles was unknown to the outside world until 1983. It is now one of the most popular tourist attractions of the region.

Purnululu was declared a World Heritage Site in 2003. Since then, the areas next to the park including the Purnululu Conservation Park and the Ord River Regeneration Reserve have also been declared as special areas by the government of Western Australia.
