Bungle Bungle Range

[1] The distinctive beehive-shaped towers are made up of sandstones and conglomerates (rocks composed mainly of pebbles and boulders and cemented together by finer material).

These sedimentary formations were deposited into the Red Basin 375 to 350 million years ago, when active faults altered the landscape.

[citation needed] Aboriginal people have been living in the area for over 20,000 years and continue to maintain a strong connection to this ancient landscape.

The national park is managed by the Western Australian Department of Environment and Conservation in conjunction with the traditional Aboriginal owners.

[4][better source needed] The range remained largely unknown except by local Aboriginal people and stockmen until 1982 when film-makers arrived and produced a documentary about the Kimberley.
