Minyirr Park, Yawuru Minyirr Buru Conservation Park

Minyirr Park sits within Yawuru Minyirr Buru Conservation Park, between Gubinge Road and the sea in Broome. This coastal walking trail network links Minyirr Park Base Camp with the Broome Surf Lifesaving Club, with a series of shorter nagula saltwater trails leading towards Walmanyjun (Cable Beach).

The main Minyirr Trail follows a longer north-south route through bundurr bundurr (pindan country) and niyamarri (sand dune) country. Along the way, the trail passes through pockets of mayingan manyja balu (monsoonal vine thickets), a culturally and ecologically important landscape rich with seasonal bush foods.

Choose a short beach trail or follow the longer connector

The network includes seven shorter side trails to the beach, plus the longer Minyirr Trail connector. These walks make it easy to choose a short coastal trail or link several sections together for a longer walk through the park.

All trails are Class 3 walks. They are suitable for most ages and fitness levels, but walkers should expect natural surfaces, sandy sections, short steep hills and natural steps. The Birndany trail provides a more challenging staircase to a lookout over Walmanyjun (Cable Beach) where you can enjoy the magnificent sunset.

Hiking experience is recommended and sturdy footwear is a good idea, especially in warmer weather.
