Bunuba history

Windjana Gorge 120km up the Gibbs River Road accompanied by Dillon an aboriginal guide who over the day told us the story of Jandamarra and the resistance of the Bunuba people to occupation of their lands by white man...showing us the places where events took place.

A spectacular gorge with a permanent spring supplying it.

There was a week long meeting of Bunuba people at the gorge to teach the children about their country, traditions, stories, bush medicine, hunting and cooking....they were fishing and swimming.

We went on to Tunnel creek.....a river has made a tunnel right through the mountain range.

Inside it was dark....walking through water then swimming to a mid point where it is open to the sky.

Small (freshwater) crocodiles in the water....red eyes reflecting our lights.

The end to the story and singing and rhythm sticks from our guide.
