Overview

Highlights

Echidna Chasm is a must-see Aussie Bucket List destination when visiting Purnululu National Park (the Bungle Bungles) in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. 

We recognise and acknowledge Gija and Jaru people as the traditional owners of Purnululu National Park.

The Echidna Chasm walking trail is 2km return from the Echidna Chasm carpark. This natural wonder has steep-sided gorge walls up to 200 metres in height, and just a metre wide in places. Echinda Chasm features spectacular prehistoric Livistona palms and with the gorge walls exhibiting bright, ever-changing colours throughout the day.
