Hike overview
The Kurrajong Trail, or Kurrajong Campground Trail, is a marked short walk that starts from the Kurrajong campground at the northern end of the Purnululu National Park. This short trail provides an introduction to the vast plains feature typical Kimberley savannah woodland. The bright yellow flowers of the kapok stand out during the dry season. There are trailside interpretive signs of the various plant communities found in the area. The trail gently traverses a limestone ridge with excellent views to the Bungle Bungle Range. As it is close to the campground, the view from here is easily accessible to photographers looking for great sunset shots.

About the region
The Bungle Bungle Range in Purnululu National Park is one of the most striking geological landmarks in Western Australia, offering a remote wilderness experience. Purnululu attracts visitors for a whole range of reasons; the sheer grandeur of the sandstone massif, watching it change to a golden colour late in the day, walking through some of the marvellous gorges and for the really well-prepared, a walk along Piccaninny Creek for an overnight camping experience.
Other walks include the Echidna Chasm Trail, Mini Palms Gorge Trail, the walk to Kungkalanayi Lookout, Cathedral Gorge, the Domes Walk, Homestead Valley Trail, Piccaninny Creek Lookout, Whip Snake Gorge and the Northern Escarpment Trail.
