That's reason enough for a visit, although the dramatic setting - a tranquil valley surrounded by sandstone escarpments - adds to the allure. It's hard to believe the Kuku Yalanji people, a tribe of hunter-gatherers, lived here right up until the late 19th century, their lives measured by the rhythm of rituals linked to puberty, manhood, marriage, birth and death. In 1873, gun-toting goldminers arrived...
