Hidden Valley itself (Mirima National Park) almost certainly does not permit climbing. However if you stay at Hidden Valley Caravan Park the rock formations on the property would offer some fun bouldering and/or short TRS problems. Bring red (not white) chalk.
Description
Access issues inherited from North
As for most of northern Australia, this region is mostly pastoral leases (cattle stations) or Aboriginal freehold. Many pastoral lessees are already diversifying into tourism activities or are interested to do so, including obtaining as required an ILUA or the like. See also https://www.pc.gov.au/research/completed/pastoral-leases, etc.
Climbing thus may well be a sustainable and economically positive tourism activity which, in ILUA-suitable locations, could be not only acceptable to but even appealing to pastoral lessees.
Given that pastoral leases cover around 44% of Australia it would be good to see some headway on access for sustainable and respectful recreational tourism uses such as climbing.
