Mimbi Caves

An early start this morning. We were on the 8am tour at Mimbi Caves up the road from last night's camp at Ngumban Cliffs.

The tour was lead be Ronnie a fascinating aboringinal elder. We were welcomed with a smoking ceremony and tales of the blue tongue lizard and the mudlark. As well as stories rich in local culture. The German Lutheran ministry also played a part in the history of the area. With an old rock building built by them for shelter. Plus a chess set they used on show. The caves themselves were very rocky and in places a little difficult to navigate. But we were rewarded with some stunning views where the sun broke through and illuminated the pools of water inside.
We were offered billy tea and damper as well as my stories and songs but Ronnie.
All in all an interesting morning.Read more
