Mirima National Park, also known as Hidden Valley National Park, is a magnificent national park located in the eastern side of the Kimberley region in far northern Western Australia. Covering a full area of 2,068 hectares (5,110 acres), Mirima National Park was declared a national park in 1982, and since then, it has continued to be an essential attraction for both tourists and locals alike.
The park is renowned for its incredibly unusual sandstone formations that dominate the entire area and are often compared to the famous Bungle Bungles. Additionally, the fantastic rock formations make it a perfect destination for photographers and sightseers.

The park's location plays a vital role in the history and culture of the local indigenous people, as several examples of rock art are found within the park, making it a significant cultural site.
Access to the park is via a sealed bitumen road, and an entry fee applies, making entry to the park easy and convenient. Although camping and fires within the park are not permitted, there are excellent facilities that visitors can enjoy, such as toilets, information shelters, tables and three exciting walking trails to explore and discover the hidden treasures of the park, some of which take visitors through the stunning sandstone formations.
