We recommend this trip to everyone. Johnny our guide was very generous with his time and knowledge of the area, the rock art, local history and indigenous lore. He catered to our bush walking abilities and was conscious that it was early in the season and could adjust the pace to suit us. The camping and catering at Jarramali campsite was excellent and nothing was too much trouble. The adventure of the 4WD track was a large part of the experience but the rock art was the star.
Hi Karen,
Couldn't have started the season any better than the way we did and with the group we had.
Thank you for joining us on a Jarramali Experience
It was easy to cater for you guys, you were easy going.
Thanks for your review!

All educators know that the most lasting learning springs from experience. Awe is the best means to make the learning memorable. As someone raised in 1950s Australia's era of silence on Aboriginal cultural richness, the best way for me to have my own grandchildren respect Aboriginal people and culture was to immerse them in the kind of tour which Jarramali Rock Art offers: and they LOVED it! Aged 9 and 12, my grandsons thrived in the magnificent country of the Quinkans, scrambling up the rugged escarpments to marvel at the 3-coloured ochre figures. Johnny's knowledge of the figures and how to protect the country which created them over 19,000 years ago impressed on the minds of all in the group. They stood in awe of those shelters and their many art figures. My grandchildren loved the thrill of the treks, the beauty of the Land, the joy of water holes and the campfire under the Milky Way. So did my son and I! Thank you Johnny and Tony for generously sharing your family's stories.
Highly recommended by our 3 generations.
Hi Rose,
Was an absolute pleasure to have Jack and Charlie, Julian and yourself come on a. Jarramali Tour. It was a memorable one for sure!
So glad the boys loved being on country. We loved that they were passionate learning about our country.
Thank you for your heartfelt review!
Highly recommend! An exhilarating 4x4 transfer from Laura. Spectacular views over the escarpment while sharing stories during morning tea and lunch. An extensive visually stunning indigenous rock art gallery. Insightful interpretation of the art. Local history. A joyous event where we felt very welcome. We even experienced an awesome impromptu violin performance!
Thank you Johnny and family for the opportunity and for your hospitality.
Hi Natleah and Barry,
You were most welcome on Yalanji country.
Thank you for coming on a Jarramali Experience.
We loved having you on country.
Glad you felt the love!
All the best,
So honoured to have experienced this trip. Johnnys sensitivity , passion and knowledge of his traditional land and amazing ancient rock art was educational and thought provoking.
Spectacular views and abundant birdlife.
The remote bush camp was very well equipped and the cabins extremely comfortable and I have never seen stars as plentiful or bright.
A must do experience when visiting Cape York.
Thank you for your review. It was truly a pleasure to host you on country.
All the best from our team
With Johnny’s guidance and knowledge we visited Jarramali to view two ancient rock art sites. Descriptions and photographs cannot begin to explain the experience, there was a sense of privilege in seeing these drawings that have existed for thousands of years and are still a part of this timeless land. Nothing about this tour felt rehearsed; it unfolded and was shared with warmth and generosity. Our only regret was that we hadn't chosen to stay another day and had to drive back to Cairns to return our camper.
Hi Pam and Bill,
Yes you will have to stay longer next time. Was a pleasure to have you both on country.
Best,
Great tour with Johnny. Learnt heaps about the Rock Art and his country. Accommodation and food excellent.
Can't wait to have you out bush again Mavis,
All the best, from the Jarramali Team
