THINGS TO DO
Purnululu National Park features a variety of walk trails for exploring it’s spectacular domes and gorges. The trails range from short routes suitable for most ages and fitness levels, though the trail surfaces are rocky and uneven, to longer trails that should only be considered by very experienced bushwalkers with specialised navigation and outback survival skills and equipment.
