The Quinkan Galleries, a collection of several rock art sites around some sandstone boulders and cliffs, is considered one of the best examples of Aboriginal Rock Art. These drawings are thought to be about 40,000 years old. Just let that sink in.... The Quinkan Galleries is one of several rock art sites near Laura closed to public access. The only way to see these works are by joining a tour from the Quinkan Regional and Cultural Centre. The tours are expensive, but absolutely worth it. They do need to be organised ahead so if you are going to be in the area and want to go, I suggest calling the centre in advance. You won't have a lot of phone reception around this place so book ahead. Read more at: http://pegsontheline.com/quinkan-rock-art/
