We took a great 4 hour tour of local Aboriginal rock art led by Willie Gordon a Nugal-warra Elder. The tour consisted of a 4 hour walk starting near Hope Vale which took us through the local landscape to six rock art sites including an ancestral Birth Cave and the Reconciliation Cave. Along the way, Willie also showed us some of the survival techniques of the Nugal-warra people including a taste of a green ant or two (Andrew did). Bush food and information about plants. Willie also talked about Aboriginal values and some aspects of culture. There is a 2 hour tour costing $65 and the 4 hour tour for $85. Willie is wonderfully informative and humorous guide. We enjoyed it. Here is the web address for the tours: www.guurrbitours.com

This is a fascinating photo I think. Willie showed us how geckos like to drink out of a leaf held to their mouths. He threw a few twigs in front of a log and the gecko darted out and Willie - later me, that is my hand you see - held a leaf for the gecko to drink from. This was worth every penny of the tour as far as I was concerned.
