WOLFE CREEK METEORITE CRATER
|
Situated 135kms south of Halls Creek off the Tanami Track. Set in arid flat country, this immense crater measures 850 metres in diameter and is the second largest in the world.

PURNULULU (BUNGLE BUNGLE) NATIONAL PARK
|
This wondrous attraction is a 239,723 hectare National Park and adjoining 79,602 hectare conservation reserve. The ecology of the park is very delicately balanced and the rock formations are extremely fragile. The striped formations have thin outer skins of black lichen and orange silica, which if broken will expose the soft sandstone beneath to the torrential rains of the green season and erosion will occur.
Vegetation in the area includes many contrasts from the unique Bungle Fan Palm to the tough eucalyptus and spinifex in the plains and open areas. At the southern end of Purnululu National Park is the Piccaninny Creek area where the spectacular beehive formations and side gorges are awe-inspiring.
At present, vehicle access is extremely difficult and limited to 4WD with good clearance only. No caravans or trailers please.
