Guurrbi Tourssends good wishes to Ron Veivers, a 63 year-old Cairns man who, 25 years ago in his local pub, made the rash statement that if the road to Cooktownwas ever sealed, then he'd walk the length of it. Today Ron sets off from Kuranda with 10 other walkers, all over 60, to fulfil his promise. Guurrbi is supporting Ron in his Charity Walk - and Cooktown is looking forward to giving him a rousing welcome during our Discovery Festival in a couple of weeks time.

We hope you enjoy this glimpse behind the scenes of Willie's magical rock art tours to his traditional country outside Cooktown.
There's information on Aboriginal society, culture, lore, bush foods and medicines, photos, news and videos. There's stories - both mythical and historic - from around Cooktown. And, of course, you can see some of the wonderful Aboriginal cave paintings left by Willie's ancestors.
Please leave your comments - and we hope to see you soon in this beautiful corner of Tropical North Queensland!
