"The 239,723 ha Purnululu National Park is located in the State of
Western Australia. It contains the deeply dissected Bungle Bungle Range
composed of Devonian-age quartz sandstone eroded over a period of 20
million years into a series of beehive-shaped towers or cones, whose
steeply sloping surfaces are distinctly marked by regular horizontal
bands of dark-grey cyanobacterial crust (single-celled photosynthetic
organisms). These outstanding examples of cone karst owe their existence
and uniqueness to several interacting geological, biological, erosional
and climatic phenomena." -http://whc.unesco.org
