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.

The Palmer River lies almost directly west and inland to Cape Tribulation. The river flooded in the aftermath of a severe cyclone in late March. Water flowed over the bridge and debris was visible the bridge and along the river banks. One can stay overnight at the Palmer River Roadhouse and there is a range of accomodation available to suit most travellers. An interesting place to stop for an hour or longer!](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/3000435646/aad55507-241f-4a3a-b5fd-c8f28f6c2aba.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=512&h=288&q=medium) ### Lakeland - Cities near Laura [Cooktown](https://expedia.com/Cooktown.dx929)[Lakeland](https://expedia.com/Lakeland.dx3000435646) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/mad-service/footer/bnaBanners/BEX_Footer.jpg) ## Go further with the Expedia app Save even more - get up to 20% on select hotels when you book on the app. Our app deals help you to save on trips so you can travel more and manage it all on the go.
