🎧 Listen to Introduction
Purnuluru National Park covers an area of 239,723 hectares and is located in Western Australia. The park contains the Bungle Bungle Range, which consists of quartz sandstone of the Devonian period, which has been eroded over 20 million years to form a series of honeycomb-like towers or cones, whose steep slopes are clearly marked by regular horizontal bands of dark grey cyanobacterial shells (single-celled photosynthetic organisms). These cones are outstanding examples of karst, and their existence and uniqueness are due to a variety of interacting geological, biological, erosional and climatic phenomena.
