The Bungle Bungle Range, in Purnululu National Park, is one of the most fascinating geological landmarks in Western Australia. From an aircraft, the Bungle Bungle Range is an imposing sight. The orange and black stripes across the beehive-like mounds, encased in a skin of silica and algae, are clearly visible as you approach from the south. A hidden world of gorges and pools is revealed, with fan palms clinging precariously to walls and crevices in the rocks when you sweep further over the range.

The area has been a national park since 1987 and its unique appearance has captured the public imagination. There are few facilities and visitors must carry in all food and water. It is essential to be well equipped as most visitors camp for several days. The name Bungle Bungle comes either from the corruption of an Aboriginal name for the area, or from a misspelling of one of the common Kimberley grasses found here, bundle bundle grass.

The Bungle Bungle Range rises up to 578 metres above sea level and stands 200 to 300 metres above a woodland and grass-covered plain, with steep cliffs on the western face. Elsewhere, particularly where Piccaninny Creek has formed Piccaninny Gorge, the range is cut by deep gullies and breaks up into complex areas of ridges and domes, with prominent orange and black or grey bands.

Dampier is located just 30 minutes' drive west of Karratha and is the gateway to the Dampier Archipelago, a fascinating group of 42 uninhabited islands located just off the coast. Dampier has long been established as a major shipping port and houses massive export facilities. Tours of the islands and of the industries are available. View the massive port loading facilities, huge stock-piles of Iron Ore and see trains nearly two kilometres long whilst on a mine company tour. A popular tidal swimming beach is Hearson's Cove, a great location for viewing the "Stairway to the Moon", a phenomenon which occurs at full moon between May and October. The accommodation at Dampier includes hotels and motels, budget, backpackers, and caravan parks.

The Dampier Peninsula is a remote area north of Broome offering many sights and things to do for the adventurous traveller. Experience such things as spectacular unspoiled coastline, tranquil community settings and sleepy holiday retreats. Go swimming in sparkling waters, go snorkelling, mudcrabbing, fishing, or simply relax and enjoy the wide open stretches of white sandy beaches. While you are on the Peninsula you are asked to respect the land, the culture and the privacy of local Aboriginal people. Although some communities and outstations have embraced tourism, access within the area is still restricted. The Peninsula is home to a number of Aboriginal communities and there are opportunities to experience the culture and lifestyle. Learn about the traditional fishing and hunting techniques, of bush foods and medicines. To minimise visitor impact, on law grounds, burial sights and traditional fishing grounds, it is important you observe all no entry signs on private roads. Please drive slowly when entering communities and do not wander uninvited into residential areas.
