This area is just so amazing and so much more than I ever imagined. Echidna Gorge, mini Palms, Cathedral Gorge will remain in my memory for ever. Also did the helicopter flight and highly recommend it. Thank you to the Gidga people.

This place is amazing!!.
It is a wee bit challenging getting in. The 53kms will take you up to 2hours to get through but we'll worth it.

Definitely must have a 4wd. Small water crossings.

The visitors centre has free WiFi, if you must, but that is the only place. The visitor centre people are so helpful. Remember to book in when you arrive. They close between 12-1pm for lunch. If you do arrive when they are closed come back later or the next day.

I stayed at the Southern end, Wilardi, as it was closer to the heli flights. I would recommend the heli flight as the Bungle Bungles look amazing from above.

National Park so no dogs

if Uluru (Ayers rock) is about one rock - a very big rock, then Purnululu (The bungle bungles) is about many rocks - many unique rocks.

we were here in last September, drove almost 3 hours from Kununurra via Victoria Hwy and Great Northern Hwy to the park access turn off - Spring Creek Track.

The 53 km access track is rocky, Sandy and corrugated with some creek crossing, you need 4WD and 1.5~2.5 hours for this section, our Toyota Prado worked well and I felt easyer than driving around Fraser Island in QLD.

we've stayed three nights in APT Wilderness lodge - Google marks two locations here on the map but one of them is wrong(on purpose?), just fowllow the sign to "Accommodation lodge" until you see the first car park on the left.

we spent one+ day in Southern section of range - The Dome, Cathedral Gorge, Piccaninny Creek lookout, The Window and the Heli tour in afternoon;

and one day on Northern section - Mini Palms Gorge, Echidna Chasm, Osmand Lookout and finally Kungkalanayi Lookout for sunset.

all walking trails are well signage and easy for most poeple - except Piccaninny Creek Trek to The Fingers. weather is hot in high 30's, not everyone like walking in this heat especially kids. only walk in early morning or late afternoon with plenty water + sunscreen + a hat and...

for most of self-drive, two night stay are good for the trip, but it can be done by one night stay even just a day trip.

Chinese used to describe the beauty of Mount Huang (黄山) with phrase:

五岳归来不看山
黄山归来不看岳

here in Kimberley we can say:

Argyle 归来不看shui (水/lake)
Bungle 归来不看shi (石/rock)

A must visit when up north. Amazing scenery, walks and views.

We did Cathedral and Piccaninny walk and also the Echidna Gorge walk. Definitely go on a guides tour you learning and see so much more.
We stayed a night at Savannah Lodge which was wonderful. We did the helicopter ride over the Bungle Bungles which was breathtaking.
I would thoroughly recommend this.

Really awesome.
Spectacular! Striped domes in a magical and tranquil atmosphere creating a maze of paths and wending walks to explore. Eroded riverbeds form natural walking paths.
4wd must.
Sunrise from the lookout is a must, stunning colours.
The amphitheatre is incredible with stunning acoustics.
Bring as much as water in there.

Awesome scenery and geology with several accommodation options. I stayed at both the National Park campgrounds and there are private commercial camping available also. Both campgrounds were nice with shade and good basic facilities (water and toilets only). All the walks are interesting but apart from Echinda Chasm there is little shade and it can be very hot so be prepared. It is a big park and takes a while to get to all the sites. The 50km drive in is pretty rough with several water crossings and has some steep winding sections and no caravans are allowed (yea!) but there is a van park on the turnoff. Allow about 2.5 hours to reach the entrance of the park.

We escaped the tyre eating rock monsters and had a brilliant time. It’s is a tough slow trip to get to this park but it was so rewarding. Throw your phone away and enjoy being off the grid.

What a spectacular place! I can finally cross it off my bucket list. The domes in the south were beautiful and we loved exploring the Cathedral. Echidna Chasm was a highlight - it was even deeper than I expected and the colours superb. The road in was great fun - we definitely had to use 4WD a number of times for rocky parts and river crossings (one was up to the skirts). The public camp ground was clean and tidy but there were heaps of ants.

Awesome natural landscape. Poorly maintained road but just heavy corrugations. Sadly campsites seem excessively set back away from the main parts. The north campsite however is nice and open. The southern campsite however is spoiled by being so close to the airstrip, wake up the the sounds of sunrise helicopter tours.

This place was spectacular. Everything from the scenery on the way down from El Questro, to the fun of the 53km 4wd track in to the lovely campsite (Walardi)...was just the beginning. The gorges and the walks to Mini Palms and Echidna were unreal and the...the Domes themselves. Truly majestic. Sunrise over the Domes at first light plus sunset viewing near the Visitor centres are also truly amazing. And to think we nearly went from El Questro after the Gibb toward Darwin... Possibly the highlight of our 9 month trip around Australia.

The Kimberleys is such a wonderful place, and the Bungle Bungle should be on the top of the list for anyone visiting. The highlight would be Cathedral gorge, but the whole place is so beautiful

Amazing , 1st stop Cathedral Gorge , walk the Bloodwood Track to Echidna chasm. What an great day out. Take plently of water, good drop toilets around park, benches and shade. Call into visitors centre and check-in, grab an ice cream for drive out. Drive carefully , don't rush, allow 2.5 hrs from Hwy. A few water crossings nothing too much. 4wd Drive recommended. Love the Bungle Bungles

Rough 58 km drive with many turns and up at downs. The national park and facilities itself are beautiful and excellent. A gem of nature with dramatic scenery.
