Cathedral Gorge

At the end of a trail through the beehive domes of southern Purnululu, a giant round rock amphitheater with powerful echoes.

Cathedral Gorge lies in the southern part of Purnululu National Park. From the car park, a trail follows a dry riverbed through the beehive domes. It is about 2 kilometers round trip and takes 1–1.5 hours. At the end is a huge semicircular rock wall dome carved out by water, with excellent acoustics. In the dry season there is often a pool of water at the bottom. It can be combined with the Domes Walk. Some scenic flight packages include a walk after landing. Self-drivers should bring plenty of drinking water and avoid the midday heat.
