Freshwater Cove
Freshwater Cove is home to a Wandjina rock art gallery. It is a wet landing onto the beach, where we are greeted by members of the local Worrorra tribe. After the ‘Welcome to country’ ceremony (ochre marks on each cheek), it is a slow 40 minute up hill walk over rocky terrain with a bit of scrambling to get down to the gallery at the end. This rock art gallery features sacred animals (owls) and the white-faced mouthless Wandjina themselves. It also has fish, sting rays, turtles and depictions of whirlpools or cyclones, some of which has been refreshed based on the whiteness of the ochre.
