Access to Purnululu is restricted and we are only allowed into 4% of the whole National Park for cultural reasons, so a helicopter flight is a great way to see more (although there are some areas we are not even allowed to fly over).
We took a 30 minute flight, with John and Harry (below) in one chopper and Ferg and me in the other.
The views were incredible, and showed us that the Bungle Bungle Range isn’t just about the domes. There are some serious gorges, chasms and ranges to see in the north, and you can even see to the Tanami Desert. In another 20 million years, the domes will have eroded away in the wind to look like the desert in the distance.
Click through the gallery of photos we took from the air to get an idea of how amazing it is.
Fergus summed up the chopper ride for all of us: “Wow, that was so awesome!” – repeated over and over!
