Mirima National Park

Often referred to as a mini version of the Bungle Bungle Range, Mirima National Park, just north of Kununurra offers stunning views over the Kimberley. The park is a culturally significant place for the local Miriwoong people. Aboriginal people have been coming here for thousands of years. They sheltered in the rocks and used the animals and plants in the area for food, medicine and tool making. Aboriginal people still hold ceremonies in special places in the park. The secluded valley harbours rugged cliffs, gullies and ridges which transform in colour to deep orange at dawn and dusk. The rocky terrain and vegetation attract lots of wildlife. Keep your eyes peeled. See if you can spot wallabies or dingoes. Look out for crimson and double-barred finches, and white-quilled rock pigeons. Camping is not permitted in Mirima National Park.
