Trails WA supports the seven principles recommended by Leave No Trace Australia for minimising your impacts when using the trails.
Learn moreDerdbe-Gerring Banan is a short but feature packed trail located in the sandstone range of Mirima National Park. The rocky outcrops along this trail have a similar geology to the ‘beehive’ formations of the Bungle Bungles located in Purnululu National Park. This trail is quite steep with steps and uneven surfaces, hence its relatively high Grade 4 rating. The trail ends at a lookout offering spectacular views over Kununurra township and the Ord River Valley.
The sandstone ranges and thickly vegetated valleys are stunningly beautiful, especially early morning or late afternoon which is the best time to do these walks to avoid the worst of the Kimberley heat.
To access this trail, follow the first section of the Banan Derdbe Gerring Gooleng Theniyinhang (Looking At Plants Trail).
Waringarri Arts offers a range of authentic art and culture tours, including a Mirima National Park Walk. A unique opportunity to experience Aboriginal Culture in the Kimberley with our Miriwoong tour guides.
