Location: The Bungle Bungles is located in Purnululu National Park, situated in the region
Kimberley in Western Australia.
Interesting Facts:
It's been around for 350 million years and revered by its Aboriginal custodians for at least
40,000 years, but The Bungle Bungles in World Heritage-listed Purnululu National Park was
not discovered yet until 1983. Director Guy Baskin was filming a documentary
called Wonders of Western Australia when the crew saw the incredible formations from the
air. In 2003 the Bungle Bungles has inscribed a World Heritage area. The Aboriginal people
have been living in that area for years and they continue to maintain a strong connection to
this ancient landscape.
The beehive-shaped karst sandstone rises 250 metres above the surrounding semi-arid
savannah grasslands. Unique depositional processes and weathering have given these
towers their spectacular black and orange banded appearance, formed by biological
processes of cyanobacteria (single cell photosynthetic organisms) which serve to stabilise
and protect the ancient sandstone formations. These outstanding examples of cone karst
that have eroded over a period of 20 million years are of great beauty and exceptional
geological interest. 
Why should people visit it? - People should visit The Bungle Bungles because it is a unique
landform that existed millions of years ago. It is also a World Heritage Site. Many tours are
operating at this place, such as those that offer scenic flights over the area, luxurious
accommodation, and even outdoor camping in the area!
