Did you know?...
Contrary to popular belief, Aboriginal
rock art is not simply an ancient art form:
it is a practice that still continues today.
— Wilfred (Willie) Gordon, Guurrbi Tours.
Hope Vale
Hope Vale Aboriginal Community
is the
gateway to one of the most spectacular
sand dune environments on Cape York.
The town has a wonderful
Arts and Cultural
Centre
where paintings and artifacts can
be purchased.
For an unforgettable experience with a
passionate and knowledgeable guide, join
Willie Gordon of Guurrbi Tours
to see the
Nugal rock art sites
hidden high in the hills
above Hope Vale. This beautiful, ancient
country, with its stunning views and giant
rocks, is an extension of the Laura sandstone
escarpment. Willie, a Nugul-warra elder,
explains the meaning behind the art, giving a
unique insight into Aboriginal spirituality and
survival. There’s often a complimentary snack
of green ants as well!
