Purnululu National Park is in the vast East Kimberley, 100 kilometres from the town of Halls Creek and 250 kilometres south of Kununurra. Home to the striking black and orange banded domes of the Bungle Bungle Range, this vast and remote National Park was listed as a World Heritage Site in July 2003. The area has had great cultural significance to the Gija traditional owners for tens of thousands of years. The exceptional natural beauty of the area is still relatively inaccessible, only suitable to 4WD vehicles and off-road trailers. To access the park, you will need to allow three hours to follow the 53 kilometre Spring Creek track safely.
The park is open between April and November with the track only usable in the dry season, so plan to check the road and weather conditions before travelling. It is important to note that the weather in the Kimberley can reach extremely high temperatures. Always have enough water on you and only attempt hikes and trails in the early morning or late afternoon. Please always take care to be respectful of the land you are visiting and not to climb on any of the rock formations
