From series “Famous Unesco Sites in Australia”
Nature lovers visiting Australia have to go to the Purnululu National Park that is located in Western Australia. This reserve was founded in 1987. It was listed as the World Heritage Site in 2003. The unique park covers an area of over 239 hectares. It is famous for various landscapes, unique geological formations, as well as its multifaceted flora and fauna.
One of the main attractions of the park is the Bungle Bungle Range. It began to form more than 20 million years ago. Mountains have a very unusual conical shape, so they resemble huge beehives. The entire island is an alternation of arid deserts and tropical savannah, so you can meet animals and plants belonging to two completely opposite ecosystems.
