Echidna Chasm

Echidna Chasm is a narrow sandstone chasm in the northern Bungle Bungle Range within Purnululu National Park, Shire of Halls Creek, Western Australia. Known for its towering conglomerate walls up to 200 metres high, Livistona palms and dramatic light effects, it is accessed via a 2 km return walking trail. Part of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Purnululu National Park, it is a key visitor site in the Kimberley region.

Visitors can expect a 1 km walk each way along a rocky trail leading into a narrow chasm with near-vertical conglomerate walls, palm groves and filtered sunlight. The chasm narrows to less than a metre wide in places with uneven surfaces, loose rocks and some rock scrambling near the end. The surrounding landscape is the beehive domes of the Bungle Bungle Range with spinifex and open woodland. There is a car park and trailhead with basic facilities; no shops inside the chasm.
