Aboriginal middens are spotted throughout the area and must be avoided due to their cultural significance. So many have simply been destroyed by careless tourists driving through these middens, damaging them forever. This is just one example of the cultural significance of the area.
While out on the land, make sure to stop the Worimi staff who work on patrolling the beach to keep everyone safe. They are a wealth of knowledge about the land, it's culture and its significance.
Enjoy the day with respect and the land will respect you in return.
