We have a lot of country up here with lots of places that are environmentally and culturally significant.

Having an Adnyamathanha person take and show you these places is the only way visitors can access these sites.  This is for cultural reasons as well as the fact that none of them are signposted and only the local people know how to get to them.

Places we can take you include the following (click the titles for more details):

  • Damper Hill
