What the drive involves

The Spring Creek Track leaves the Great Northern Highway and runs 53 km of unsealed road to the Purnululu Visitor Centre, at a speed limit of 50 km/h; allow one and a half to three hours. Access is for high-clearance 4WD vehicles and single-axle high-clearance camper trailers and caravans only; dual-axle trailers are not permitted. The park closes in the wet season, and its opening and closing dates depend on the weather each year. Cathedral Gorge, at the southern end of the Bungle Bungle Range, is a 2 km return walk.

What permitted means for your hire

Permitted means the conditions of hire allow the camper in Purnululu National Park, and the standard insurance applies while you are there. It does not reserve a vehicle or a date, and it does not cover every track nearby: the Gibb River Road and the Mitchell Plateau Track are listed separately. Check the equipment list on each camper for the second spare wheel, the compressor and the UHF radio. You add the park pass and enough fuel for the round trip.
