Staying There
Accommodation is available in the area for most people, whether you like camping or need a few more of life's little luxuries while on holidays. Twin Share and family units are available at the Mt Augustus Outback Tourist Resort, which also offers camping and powered sites for visitors.

Things To Do
The main attractions of the park are bushwalking, rock climbing and wildlife spotting. There are several well-marked trails for hiking throughout the area, and the more scenic parts of the rock itself are all accessible from a 49km ring road around the base of the mountain.

Around & About
Burringurrah NP is very isolated and the nearest major centres are at least 350km away over gravel roads. Carnarvon, on the Western Australian coast is the high-tech home to some of Australia's vital satellite communications hardware. Carnarvon is also the home of the Dolphin Express hovercraft, which makes the two hour run to see the dolphins at Monkey Mia every day except Monday and Friday. There is also a 1500m jetty at the heart of the bay in Carnarvon, providing a focal point for the local community.
