About Us
Jarramali Rock Art Tours is a family owned and operated business, run by friendly and experienced Kuku-yalanji traditional owners.
UNESCO regards the Quinkan Rock Art as one of the ten most significant bodies of rock art in the world!
Our aim is to give international and domestic visitors an opportunity to experience our significant and amazing rock art sites which I believe is our national treasure, our crown jewels.
Tours will highlight our connection to the land – plants that were used traditionally for bush tucker and medicinal purposes. Trees that weapons were made from. The tour guide will give an enchanting narrative of our peoples ways and culture through the stories that are told through ancient rock art.

Logo Meaning:
Our logo is an animated version of a man with headdress and belt which is so typical of the Quinkan rock art throughout the Laura region. The circle represents the world to which the Kuku-yalanji people belong, live and survive.
Jarramali means thunder or thunderstorm. Thunder gets everyone’s attention. It doesn’t matter what everyone is doing they will pay attention. That’s how we want our business to be. Everyone stops and pays attention. Its loud, you heard it. There’s no mistaking it. It’s clear and definite. We wanted a strong name to represent this company. The name Jarramali fits the bill.
