On the way from Cooktown to stopped off at Split Rock on our way to Musgrave.
Split Rock is an Aboriginal Art site where rock art can be viewed by walking 1300 odd metres up a steep incline. It was worth the effort to get there as much of the art work is very old and it is considered one of the sacred places for the Aborigines. We were not encouraged to take photos there so I minimised my photos just to give an idea of what it was like.
On the way up to see the art our guide Dean showed us some of the plants like "soap" bush that aborigines use for soap and to make a poultice for infections. We saw a green ants nest and plenty of black cockatoos.
