Tours
The rock art sites are about 40 minutes drive from Cooktown, travelling along the Endeavour Valley. It’s a very beautiful area surrounded by hills – six of which mark the boundaries of the Nugal lands. The road is predominantly unsealed, but passable except in very bad weather. We then leave the road and travel on a small track, climbing through woodlands to the area known as Wangaar-Wuri, which is the location of the rock art sites. This is a stunning area with giant rocks, sandstone escarpments and spectacular views. It’s a beautifully peaceful place, and we walk on tracks which have been used by the Nugal people for centuries.
The Great Emu Tour includes a visit to three rock art sites, including the Great Emu Cave. This is suitable for most ages: there is a short climb to one of the sites, but overall very little walking is involved. Afternoon departures.
