Purnululu National Park is a national park that presents a stunning panorama of sandstone formations. This natural view is like a natural wonder that will amaze travelers. This formation is shaped like a honeycomb and the rocks have orange and black stripes on them.

This view is especially visible in the Bungle Bungle Range that runs through Purnululu. The terrain there is known to be quite steep. However, this does not dampen the enthusiasm of travelers to explore the beauty of the park on offer.
The orange and black dotted dome of the Bungle Bungle Range in Purnululu National Park is both beautiful and unique – an icon of Western Australia's Kimberley region, which is a shame to miss.

This national park was hidden from the outside world until 1983, and was listed as a world heritage by Unesco and the local government. Bungle Bungle Hill is surrounded by hundreds of years old aboriginal settlements. On this hill are traces of culture, including ceremonial sites, rock paintings, and a funeral garden. Cathedral Gorge, Piccaninny Gorge and Echidna Chasm are some of the more popular sites.

Walardi Camp in the Purnululu National Park

The World Heritage-listed Bungle Bungle Range in Purnululu National Park is one of the Kimberley's most recognizable symbols. From the air, a gigantic dome of rock suddenly rises from the plains of the prairie, looking like a beehive, dotted with cyanobacteria.
The ancient palm trees seemed out of place, and the secluded waterholes persisted into the hot dry season. This is probably Australia's most captivating landscape. 
In 1983, Purnululu National Park became famous after a documentary was filmed on the spot.

Located in eastern Australia, Purnululu National Park which is home to the Bungle Bungle Range is one of Australia's most unique tourist attractions.
Bungle Bungle Range dome is sandstone with a striking orange color and black stripes, so it resembles a large beehive. In fact, the first to discover this tourist spot were the local farmers and the Aborigines.

Walardi's campground is within the World Heritage Area, Purnululu National Park (Bungle Bungles), and close to the Cathedral Gorge. This campsite is only accessible by 4WD vehicles. High clearance, single axle and retractable units are permitted due to road conditions (non-retractable axle units are not allowed).

The campground can serve up to 70 vehicles. Picnic tables are provided at some locations and toilets are available. There are generator and non-generator areas within the campsite. Making a fire is only allowed in the provided fireplace. It's best to use your own gas or portable fuel stove.

Collecting timber in national parks is not allowed. Limited wood is supplied for cooking. Do not bring your own as it can spread weed seeds and plant diseases that can kill native flora.
Walardi is closed during the Kimberley rainy season. Best time to visit is from April to mid-October. The visitor center is open daily from early April to mid-November (subject to seasonal conditions).
