The Geologic Oddity in Australia; The Bungle Bungles

Within Western Australia are a series of dome shaped pillars which tower as much as 240 meters or 790 feet above the surrounding landscape. Informally referred to as the "Beehives", these fascinating geologic structures are today referred to as the Bungle Bungles. Located in Purnululu National Park, they began their formation more than 300 million years ago and have both a geological and biological origin. Note: If you do decide to visit this highly remote national park, bring water and food, but also please stay on marked trails and roads only. The cyanobacteria crusts and sandstone as a whole are suprisingly fragile and can be destroyed by simply walking on or touching them.
