About Banan Derdbe-Gerring Gooleng Theniyinhang Trail, Kununurra, Mirima NP
Banan Derdbe-Gerring Gooleng Theniyinhang (Path for looking at trees and other things) takes walkers through the valleys formed through the sandstone ranges of Mirima National Park and highlights the fauna that can be found within. The tropical plants along this walk thrive in this protected environment due to the broken sandstone range with its steep valleys providing catchment areas for the terrestrial wet season rainfall.
Trailside signs will help you to get to know some of the plants and their use by local Miriwoong Gajerrong people who are connected with the land physically, culturally and spiritually and have been living here for tens of thousands of years.Â
This trail is over an even surface, including a boardwalk making it wheelchair accessible.Â
Waringarri Arts offers a range of authentic art and culture tours. A unique opportunity to experience Aboriginal Culture in the Kimberley with our Miriwoong tour guides.
All abilities access, flat, even, hardened surface with no steps or steep sections. Suitable for unassisted wheelchair users and prams. Clear directional signage. No bushwalking experience required.
