Thanks Clinton.


Would loved to have learnt more.










To quote the archeologist who first documented these petroglyphs in the 1960s, "The Egyptian government would not tolerate any plans to erect a petrochemical plant next to the pyramids of Giza, the French would never quarry the limestone containing Lascaux Cave for building blocks Western Australia lacks the ancient structures of the Old World, but it has cultural heritage sites rivalling in value those anywhere else. Some of its Pilbara petroglyphs are three times older than the ages of the Pyramids, Lascaux art and the [Afghan] Buddha figures added together. They were created by the oldest living culture on earth, and these timeless sentinels are trenchant reminders of the transience of our own society and culture. By comparison to these witnesses of our ephemeral existence the cultural works we, the invaders of this continent, have managed to erect in Western Australia—our museums and statues and Lang Hancock’s mansion—are worthless trinkets."




Clinton is the tour guide he is traditional custodian of country and a wealth of knowledge passed down from his ancestors. The team were friendly, the other groups of people on the tour across all age groups from children to nomads, unanimously all shared they had the best day too. We drove through many different types of terrain.
Learnt about all native flowers and wildlife
Bush tucker, plucked directly off the tree fresh.
Swam in many dams, waterholes and flowing rivers to fill up our water bottles.
In a short day we truly captured the essence of how the First Nations people lived off the land.
Some people had their own four wheel drives , I travelled in the tour guides 4WD it was a brand new land cruiser very comfortable and had air conditioning and power points for my phone.
The tour guide had a two way he was sharing information with the other vehicles while we were driving from place to place.
We were given useful information that would save life if ever lost in the desert how to find food water and shelter
We learnt the protocols of how to respectfully experience aboriginal culture what we can take photos of and which things not to, correct language and cultural acknowledgments.



He took time to tell traditional stories and incorporated bush tucker and medicine practices into our Rock Art Tour.
To come all this way only to try and walk around without a guide would be such a shame.
If you have one plan for Karratha do yourself a favour and make it this.
We cannot recommend him highly enough.
