How to get to the Bungle Bungles largely depends on where you're travelling from. There are several ways you can travel to the iconic Western Australia range including by flying into Bungle Bungle Airport, catching public transport, or driving. However, you cannot take public transport for the entire journey if you're traveling from a destination such as Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, or Adelaide with there being an element of driving towards the end to get to the Bungle Bungles. 

There are a few ways to travel from Kununurra to the magnificent Bungle Bungles range. The Bungle Bungles are located 300km from Kununurra so if you wanted to drive it, it would take you just over 5 hours. If you're after a more time-efficient option, you can always take a scenic flight from Kununurra to the iconic range, flying over the spectacular Kimberley for a 2-hour duration. Unfortunately, there are no public transportation options available.

The weather in the Bungle Bungles is fairly warm all year round with winter seeing minimum temperatures of 15°C and maximum temperatures of 30°C. Temperatures in the summer can climb up to an extreme level with October being the hottest month at a maximum average of 38°C however, the months of summer are also the rainiest months of the year. Travelling during the months of May-June and November-December is strongly advised against as it's too hot and it can become quite dangerous. 

Due to the extreme heat that occurs in the summer/spring months, the ideal time to explore the Bungle Bungles is during June, July, and August. While this is technically winter, the average temperature is around 25°C-30°C, and clear skies reign supreme, making it the perfect weather to make the most of this spectacular natural landmark. It is also extremely unlikely to experience any rainfall during winter as the wet season primarily occurs during spring and summer. 

Trekking through the Bungle Bungles range can sometimes be quite physically demanding (and the temperatures can be high) so you should always make sure you have a reusable water bottle with you at all times to keep hydrated. You should also pack comfortable walking/hiking shoes, a hat and sunscreen to protect you from the sun, a camera so you can capture as much of this landscape as possible, and a snack in case you need an energy boost halfway through the range. 

Unfortunately, there is no internet or mobile phone access in the Bungle Bungles range. If you need to make a phone call during your time at the park, there is a public phone located at the visitor centre. 

The stunning landscape known as the Bungle Bungles range was formed millions of years ago, and for the past 20,000 years, has been traditionally owned by the Karjaganujaru and Gija peoples. This land is full of rich, spiritual history and remains a place of connection for the traditional custodians today.
