The Bungle Bungles are a series of striped, dome-shaped rock formations. The Bungle Bungles, or the Bungle Bungle (Purnululu) National Park, is in the eastern Kimberley region of northern Western Australia. Specifically, they lie east of the Great Northern Highway, between Kununurra in the north and Halls Creek in the south.
The Bungle Bungles are a series of striped, dome-shaped rock formations located in the eastern Kimberley region of northern Western Australia.
The horizontal stripes of the domes are produced by layers of black lichen and orange silica. The darker stripes have a higher clay content. Because of the higher moisture content, these areas support the growth of cyanobacteria, formerly known as blue-grey algae. This cyanobacteria actually provides a protective barrier for the rock underneath. The lighter sections have less clay, so are drier, meaning the cyanobacteria cannot grow on these sections; therefore, they are not protected, and are prone to oxidisation (rusting) of the iron within the sandstone.
