Cultural significance
Mirima is important to the Miriwoong people. Respect signage and stay on tracks.
Geology
Mirima’s banded sandstone is around 300 million years old, younger than the Bungle Bungles. The formations are eroded into narrow gullies, domes and walls, with rock art in some areas.
Wildlife
Look for short-eared rock wallabies, rock pigeons and other birds around the cliffs, especially at dawn and dusk.
When to go
The park is beautiful year-round, but in the dry season the light at dawn and dusk turns the rocks bright orange. In the wet, waterfalls occasionally form after heavy storms.
Practical notes
There are toilets and picnic areas. Carry water, wear a hat and allow 1–2 hours for a couple of short walks.
