Mirima National Park

The spectacular natural rock formations of Mirima National Park make this a popular place for bushwalking, photography and nature watching- all within a couple of minutes from Kununurra! Choose one of the many walk trails and start exploring. Avoid the heat of the day- the Kimberley is famous for being hot! Time your walk right and watch the sandstone come to life as it reflects the changing tones of the Kimberley.

Mirima National Park is a culturally significant place for the local Miriwoong Gajerrong people who 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 and still hold traditional ceremonies in special places in the park.

The rocky terrain and vegetation attract lots of wildlife. Keep your eyes peeled. See if you can spot wallabies or lizards. Look out for crimson and double-barred finches, and white-quilled rock pigeons. Your binoculars will come in handy!

When you are entering the Kimberley you are entering crocodile country. Two species of crocodile occur in Western Australia: the estuarine (or saltwater) crocodile and the freshwater crocodile. The estuarine crocodile is the largest living reptile and is considered to be a dangerous predator. Freshwater crocodiles are smaller and not as aggressive.
