Kalkajaka

(BLACK MOUNTAIN) NATIONAL PARK

Black Mountain National Park is within the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area (WTWHA) which extends for about 450 km between Cooktown and Townsville.

It is recognised for its exceptional natural beauty, the importance of its biological diversity and evolutionary history and is home to numerous threatened species and also has cultural significance for our Indigenous people who have traditional links with the area and its surrounds.

The traditional owners and custodians of Kalkajaka are the Kuku Nyungkul clan. It is a very significant place for clan members who hold it in great respect, it is a sacred site as the spirits of their ancestors still remain at Kalkajaka to this day.

Book an Indigenous tour with Mooks to learn about its Dreamtime stories.
