24th August 2014 Ravenshoe

We went back to the visitor centre today to spend a bit more time going through their museum, it is so well done,  whst we found surprising was the displays of aborigine artifacts and early photos.
Because the far north Queensland aborigine had plenty of foid in the jungle they we're not nomads like the southern relations, with this they built good homes, used to weave fish and animal traps as well as utensils for everday use.
They climbed up trees, with a rope made from vine, placed around the back of them the same way the polyneasians would climb coconut palms, they would do this to catch possum and tree kangeroo.
They also carried shields that looked just like Papua New Guinea Armour, all the gear looked like it was from over the water.
After that we went back to the Ravenshoe golf course to have another 18 holes with the people we had met, great day but hard doing 2 days like that carring your gear.
Camp fire and port tonight, still no platypus.
