Overview

The Kimberley Craton of Western Australia was subjected to rifting in the Paleoproterozoic along the North Australian Craton margin followed by plate collision that formed the Diamantina Craton as part of Nuna. An intra-oceanic arc accreted to the continent which collided with the craton. Paleoproterozoic and Mesoproterozoic basins formed during the breakup of Rodinia. Neoproterozoic through Cambrian time formed basins across the Kimberley. The King Leopold uplift, thermal subsidence, and Devonian reef complexes were deposited. The Halls Creek and Alice Springs uplifts followed. Triassic and later Mesozoic cover sequences formed a veneer over these basins. Chapter 1 introduces the geology of the Kimberley Craton. Chapter 2 presents the geology of the Purnululu National Park and the Bungle Bungle Range. Chapter 3 offers a field excursion through the Spring Creek Track of the western part of the national park. Chapter 4 offers daily trip suggestions ranging from single day to an unlimited tour excursion. Chapter 5 presents geologic descriptions of national park features around the Bungle Bungles.
