Aboriginal Tour

After our near disastrous Outback experience, we decided to try the local aboriginal tour with Willie at Guurbbi Tours. Do a search for Guurbbi tours and you will be directed to www.pigswillfly.com.au

The car, by the way, was repaired by attaching a clip that had come loose. It had not been attached properly when it was installed during some repair work.

We met our guide about 45 minutes North of Cooktown, just past where we had turned when we had our disaster. Easy driving!















We spent our two plus hours walking among some interesting lava formations, and visiting three caves that had drawing on their walls. Willie said he had grown up just among these formations. He as very erudite, and had visited the world, exploring the stories of creation and life. This, plus a little politics, is what we discussed during our time together.












































One of the great things he showed us was how to get a lizard to drink water from a leaf we give him. This will impress the grandkids!
