The name of this trail comes from the local Indigenous Miriuwung people. Demboong means Gap and Banan means Trail. This short well-marked trail goes through a small gap between eroded sandstone ranges to a lookout over Kununurra.

Birds are prolific throughout Mirima, especially early morning, which is also a good time to walk to beat the heat. In the valley where the trail begins you may be lucky enough to see families of colourful variegated fairy-wrens flittering in and out of acacia trees and turkey bush. As you climb, you will see and hear rock pigeons.   

Despite its short nature, care should be taken as the trail is broken up with rock and uneven surfaces.

I visited Mirima National Park a few years ago when passing through Kununurra and absolutely fell in love with the unique rock formations here, sandstone rocks that are 300 million years old. Pretty spectacular place to visit with a variety of trails to choose from.

Trails are free and bring so many benefits to our community by providing opportunities to have fun, get fit, socialise, explore and challenge yourself. But they also have to be managed and maintained which only is made possible through terrific sponsors, donations and/or volunteering.
