Enjoy a full day to explore some of Purnululu National Park's most beautiful locations. Experience the incredible natural acoustics of Cathedral Gorge, a vast amphitheatre of vibrant rock created by erosion over millions of years. Later, stroll along Piccaninny Creek winding your way through the park's unique landscapes. Alternatively, you can take to the skies on an optional helicopter flight over the Bungle Bungle Range, soaring over the range's beehive-like domes and seeing Cathedral Gorge and Piccaninny Creek from a birds-eye view (additional charge). (B/L/D)
Travel through the park to Home Valley Station, your accommodation for the next two nights. Nestled in the midst of the sweeping Cockburn Range, it's not hard to see why this immense cattle property was used as the setting for Baz Luhrmann's blockbuster film, 'Australia'.

Walk throughout the Mitchell Plateau today to experience the power and beauty of its waterfalls and marvel at its collection of Indigenous rock art. Begin with a guided hike to Little Mertens Falls to view rarely seen rock art before continuing to the impressive Big Mertens Falls. Next up is the tiered Mitchell Falls, where you can cool down with a swim in the refreshing natural pools above the falls. Alternatively, you can see the waterfalls from a unique perspective on a scenic helicopter flight (additional charge). (B/L/D)
