8. Bungle Bungles
We spent three nights at the Bungle Bungles in Purnululu National Park. The park is famous, or infamous, for the rough road into the park and then the roads around the park. The road into the park is 53km and is often heavily corrugated with many river crossings. It took one hour and forty-five minutes to drive into the park. Fortunately, we made it into and around the park without suffering a flat tire. The beehive-like rock formations are the signature site in the park. It was fantastic to visit the park, and it was a nice break from the caravan as we stayed in a glamping tent (you cannot bring sizeable caravans like ours into the park).
Bungle Bungles: The road into the park has a lot of water crossings. These can be problematic because you do not know if you are driving over sharp rocks which can puncture the car tires
