Tour Description
Guurrbi Tours: Rainbow Serpent Rock Art Tour is listed as One of Australia’s Ultimate Must-Do Experiences.
Willie, the traditional story-teller of the Nugal-warra clan, takes guests to his ancestral rock art sites, set high in the hills above Hope Vale, outside Cooktown. Here he shares the stories behind the art, and explains how the paintings speak of the essence of life and the lores of his people.
Here, on his Traditional lands, Willie explains why these sites are of such importance to future generations of Nugal-warra people. He gives his guests an understanding of rich and complex society depicted in the art, and shares his ancient Aboriginal philosophy which shows how we can engage the environment in order to better understand ourselves.
The Rainbow Serpent tour will take you through a dramatic landscape to six rock art sites, including an ancestral Birth Cave.
