What an experience - we thoroughly enjoyed our time with Johnny and family. We were very privileged to see amazing artwork, learn so much about culture, and enjoyed an amazing location. Johnny is a fantastic Ambassador for his people, and managing to keep the knowledge alive. He was very flexible with time, and very safety conscious. Keep up the great work Johnny and family - you so deserve success with the effort you all are putting in.

Hi Alexis,

Thank you for your awesome review, it was an absolute pleasure to host you on country. We love what we do but it's also good to have the family join me every now and again. And glad we could share the experience altogether.

All the best,

Johnny

Johnny has an ancestral connection to the land and is very knowledgeable about the ecosystem as well as the art on the escarpment walls. He provided a great mixture of local lore, botanical identification, fire management techniques, aboriginal art education and relaxing activities. The food was delicious and plentiful. Evening campfires with a hauntingly beautiful didgeridoo performance made the experience our number favorite activity on our month long trip.

We joined Johnny for an overnight tag along tour and we couldn’t have been more impressed! Johnny’s such a knowledgeable, kind and accommodating guide. When we arrived we were given the most touching welcome to country and his words stuck with me the whole time we were there. He said “walk with me land you’ll be safe with me.” It was such a lovely welcome.

Soon after arriving it was time to set off to see some of the rock art. I discussed with him that I may have some limitations because of a chronic Illness and I was concerned about being able to keep up with the others. He was so kind and showed me slightly easier paths and stayed with me, rather than charging ahead. Through his patience, he helped me achieve something I didn’t physically think I could.

It was wonderful hearing his history and connection to the land, my kids were particularly mesmerised by this.

When we got back in the afternoon we set up our camp, prepared dinner and shared stories while we ate. Johnny was very hospitable and a great host. The beautiful hot showers and clean, flushing toilets were a welcome bonus too!

This experience is a must!

Thanks so much, Johnny!

Olivia, Kevin, Lilly, William and Violet.

Was so good to see you all accomplish the challenge of the hikes that were set before you, especially you Olivia. I was so proud of what you mentally and physically achieved. Some of the Rock Art as you know are quite remote and can be difficult. But you did it!

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to share our country with you!

How fortunate, and a privilege, for us to be on country with Johnny M and Tony for a 2 night tour in May 2023 of the most amazing Quinkan rock art - a special privilege to witness the Magnificent gallery ( the best indigenous rock art we have seen on our travels across Oz this year, and we have been so lucky to see many others) and other galleries that Johnny took us to , each so well presented and interpreted so well for us by Johnny. We tagged along in our 4wd save for the coach Rd where Johnny’s ATV driving skills were awesome. We learnt so much of the amazing culture from these guys and Johnny even had us enjoying green ants. Altogether an experience we will forever cherish, Thanks so much to Johnny and Tony. Peter and Kim
