Bungle Bungles - Purnululu NP

This trek takes in the magnificent Bungle Bungles - a unique and visually striking collection of dome-shaped rock formations that resemble beehives due to their distinctive dark grey and orange

Where's the best place to leave your caravan while visiting the Bungle Bungles for a few days.

Hi Cookie & Di,
Bit more info would be good, but I'll try & answer you question.
You could leave it at the caravan park/roadhouse & Warum then you have a drive (south) of about 60k's to the Bungles turnoff.
There is a free camp just to the south of turnoff (right hand side), I havent stayed there personally, but know people who have....'touch wood' when they came back thier vans & trailers were still in tact. This free camp is very popular with visitors to the Bungles.
Allow two hours for the drive in & out....... enjoy

CU down the road

Just a follow up on the "free camp" almost opposite the Bungle Bungles turnoff.

Yes it is just about opposite the turnoff, and slightly south. After we came out of the track into the Bungles, we went in for a look, and there were about 5 Van's there. Just look for the first track/turnoff, drive into it, and then turn Sth, towards the river, about 400 mts.

It's an "honour system", there are no caretakers there, and although most people respect things, it only takes one.

Think about it !

Cheers
Bucky

just went into Google Earth, and the turn off is 320 mts South from the main gate to Purnalulu.
It's clearly visible

The roadhouse/camp ground at Warmun (Turkey Creek) has a fenced enclosure where people can leave vans. I presume there is a fee but do not know what it is. We've left our van stored at caravan park at Kununurra - I know Ivanhoe Village and Kimberleyland do this, others may too.
