Mirray Lookout Walk
A short, steeper Grade 3 climb to a forest-framed lookout over Kakadu’s vast interior.
Route overview
Climb through woodland to a sheltered high viewpoint over the Kakadu landscape.
Mirray packs a sustained climb into only two kilometres. The summit shelter is partly enclosed by vegetation, but the route delivers a strong sense of scale and is a useful step up from Kakadu’s flatter cultural and wetland walks.
