Weathered over millennia into amazing formations, the domes rise like a stupendous city - Ken Duncan
Where is it? Near the NT border 300km south of Kununurra, the creek cuts through Purnululu National Park, past the Bungle Bungles
“As the sun rises, the awe-inspiring domes of the Bungle Bungles massif are reflected with unwavering precision in the waters of a pool at the end of Piccaninny Gorge. Weathered over millennia into amazing formations of bandedstone, the domes rise like a stupendous city in the remote north-east of WA. This pool, photographed at the end of the wet season, is likely to last only a month or so before the heat dries it to bare rock. But in the meantime, it awaits the dawning of a new day, adding tranquillity to the harsh world it so delicately mirrors.” – Ken Duncan

LOCATION
Purnululu NP, WA
A series of countless tiger-striped giant domes that was only discovered by the wider world in the 80's. Not as accessible as other icons like Uluru, so see it now and brag about how you were first.
