Talking shop Bob in the Bungle Bungles
THE STUFF THAT HAPPENS WHEN AGENTS GET INVOLVED STAR QUALITY WESTERN AUSTRALIA
welcomed a different kind of rock icon this May – Sir Bob Geldof. The Live Aid star was in the region to
see the Margaret River and Kimberley regions, including the famous Bungle Bungle range in WA's Purnululu National Park, which, believe it or not, was only re-discovered 30 years ago. The park has recently seen $1.9 million worth of improvements which include new and upgraded walking trails, as well as improved 4WD access. Sir Bob said of his trip: "The contrast
between the lush green valleys of the Margaret River and the arid, isolated Kimberley were stunning. WA is an amazing place."
