Purnululu (The Bungle Bungles) - Exploring Australia's most underrated national park (while closed!)

- The final destination of our East Kimberley mission - The Bungle Bungles, Punrnululu National Park.
This part of the trip was particularly special. We worked closely with WA Parks and Wildlife and Heli Spirit to spend 3 days exploring the park while it was closed. We chartered a Longranger helicopter, dodging rainfall and stormy fronts to capture our images. To see this place with no one around and during the wet season was something we'll never forget.
Special thanks to the Team at Heli Spirit and Parks and Wildlife for helping make this mission possible.
Permission from the traditional owners as well as all the necessary permits were obtained before entering the park. The park is closed in the wet season because the road into the park is on a flood plain, it was flooded and in very poor condition. The park opens at the start of the dry season once the road has been graded and all necessary supplies and staff are present in the park.
Thanks for watching.

Absolutely spectacular shots. The quality is incredible. Loved seeing the Bungle Bungles with water!
Thanks Lucas!
Spectacularly beautiful place, magnificent shots. Thanks for your work guys.
Off the charts gents
Thanks legend, we're looking forward to our next visit and catch up.
Absolutely Incredible 😍
I did a similar photo trip down to the Bungles in a helicopter in late January 2014. (With all the appropriate permissions and permits). Scottie came along for the ride. The Bungles certainly are different in the Wet. This was pre drone time, so my aerials were from the chopper. A bushfire had passed through the area a couple of months before, and the new vegetation was spectacularly green. Have probably down 20 trips into the Bungles since, and your drone photography adds a new perspective. Would love to do a vertical ascent in the amphitheater at Cathedral.
Awesome footage guys, what an amazing spot.
Incredible shots guys, just wondering what the intro song is?
wow
The park is closed. Yet you still enter the park. Getting dropped in remote places. Respect traditional owners and if a place is closed, it is closed.
Hi Kim, Thanks for your concern. We entered the park with permission from the traditional owners and permits from everyone concerned. We had permission to visit each location featured. The main reason the park was closed is because the road into it is on a flood plain. During the wet season the road is flooded and destroyed. The re-open the park as soon as the road is in satisfactory condition to allow the public to enter safely.
@@saltywings3964 thanks for letting me know. When the clip said park closed, assumed to all. I know a lot of communities have closed, due to covid. Not clear from your film. Stay safe.
Oh piss off. We'll go where we please.
