Mimbi Caves-don’t miss it!

Girloorloo Tours run a very special exploration of Mimbi Caves, 90km east of Fitzroy Crossing on the Great Northern Highway, going towards Halls Creek.

Spokesperson and one of the guides, Ronnie Jimbidie has an inclusive charm about him that makes all visitors feel very comfortable as he relates the geological and cultural history of the caves. The easily traversed tunnels run through old limestone reefs from the Devonian period. Inside are rock paintings and charming pools of crystal clear water lit by small openings in the ceiling of the caves.

Jolene Gordon and Delwyn Surprise also work very hard to see to it that people enjoy themselves and have a safe and memorable exploration of this fascinating area. Information on bush tucker and bush medicine from the region is passed on by Jolene in a confident and friendly manner that confirms the adage that nothing beats being in the hands of a local, especially one who is anxious that you learn as much as possible about their country.

As the tour makes its way through the long water-formed tunnels Delwyn is careful that senior people make their way along the path indicative of a business that cares about its customers. Tours to Mimbi Caves can be arranged by ringing Girloorloo Tours on (08) 9191 5355.
