Return to Kununurra

Often referred to as a mini version of the Bungle Bungle range, Mirima National Park just north of Kununurra offers bushwalking and stunning views over the East Kimberley.

The park is also a significant place for the local Aboriginal Miriuwung people, who have lived in the area for thousands of years.

Hike through the area and you’re likely to come across Aboriginal rock paintings, engravings and artefacts.

The secluded valley harbours rugged cliffs, gullies and ridges which transform in colour to deep orange at dawn and dusk.

The late afternoon is also when you’ll see birds of prey swoop majestically over the landscape.

The park is home to a big variety of wildlife including many species of birds, all manner of reptiles, wallabies, bats, dingoes and echidna.

You can see stunning views over Kununurra and the surrounding areas from a number of vantage points - bushwalking trails take you to the best spots.

There’s no camping allowed in Mirima National Park but there’s plenty of accommodation available in Kununurra which is just a two minute drive away.
