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

Can anyone advise how long it would take to drive from El Questro to the Bungle Bungles.

Allow a long day. While you've only got 40 km out to the bitumen from the ElQ turnoff on the Gibb, the 70 km into the Purnululu camp areas can take up to 3 hours depending on track condition and what you're towing etc. If your thinking of doing the Heli flight, I'd allow a stop at Warmun (Turkey Creek) and book your flight there for a departure at the Bellburn airstrip in the Bungles.

Yeah I have to agree, the road from the highway into the bungles is not long but takes a good few hours even without towing anything. And watch for the tour bus operators, some of them seem to think they own the road.
