Gerliwany-gerring Banan Trail runs for 1.07km one-way along the floor of Hidden Valley in Mirima National Park. It’s a moderate Class 3 trail that takes the walker through Savanna woodland.

There are great views along the way of the rocky sandstone ranges with stunning colours. The colours of these banded sculptured rock formations are even more enhanced just before sunset.

For observing wildlife, the late afternoon is a great time to see agile wallabies, rock wallabies and wallaroos feeding on grasses. Birds such as variegated fairy-wrens and finches can be seen flittering about low vegetation while black kites soar high above.  

All trails in this national park have interpretive signage for people who want to know about the rich natural history of this park that is culturally important to the local Miriuwung people.

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.

Supported by great organisations

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.
