RV TRAVEL GREAT NORTHERN HIGHWAY South along the Great Northern Highway is the 52km track to Purnululu National Park (the Bungle Bungles). Helicopter tours are on offer at the Warmun Roadhouse or you can leave the van checked in at the caravan park there and drive yourself in (experienced drivers with a high clearance/low range 4WD only). There are two national park campgrounds along with the Bungle Bungle Wilderness Lodge and the Bungle Bungle Savannah Lodge. The Fitzroy River Lodge is the top place to camp along the entire Northern Highway. From this base, you can take the national park boat tour at Geikie Gorge, or take a day tour to Tunnel Creek National Park and Windjana Gorge National Park (with camping). To explore the King Leopold Ranges Conservation Park, camp in the ranges or stay at the Mount Hart Wilderness Lodge.
