Explore the only million-year-old 'giant honeycombs' on Earth
Purnululu National Park, Australia is known for its outstanding scenery and geological value, where the Bungle Bungle range stands out with sandstone rocks with extremely unique shapes that look like giant honeycombs.
Rising 300m above the plain, the sandstone domes are one of the world's most fascinating geological landmarks.
That's why the dome mazes here are likened to giant beehives
The rocks were created over a period of 20 million years as water gradually eroded the karst sandstone, creating eye-catching shapes.
The honeycomb shape is visually appealing while the natural stripes add a unique character that can't be found anywhere else.
Purnululu National Park is also home to 130 bird species, as well as unique native animals.
Although the Bungle Bungles existed for about 350 million years, it was not until 1983 that the area became known after treasure seekers accidentally discovered it.
The Bungle Bungles are described as 'unrivaled in their scale, extent, grandeur and variety of form anywhere in the world'
With its unique geological and historical significance, Purnululu was listed as a World Heritage Area in 2003.
