Laura is a small town, with a population around 100 people on the Cape York Peninsula in Tropical North Queensland. The town boasts the largest collection of prehistoric rock art in the world. The area around Laura is known for Quinkans, giant figures who according to Aboriginal legend, were spirits that lived in the crevices of rocks. They would emerge from the cracks to frighten people. Basically the Quinkan spirits were ‘boogie men” of the Laura area.
The Quinkan and Regional Cultural Centre is the first stop for all travellers to Laura. The Quinkan Centre showcases all aspects of Quinkan Country including Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal heritage and the natural environment.Photos
