In any case is the OP asking a question or trying to provide information?

Thanks Kerry that's a big help

There are some petroglyphs at Hearsons Cove - on the rocks on the southern side of the bay. This bay is particuarly bountiful of mud crab on a low tide and you can walk all the way out ! Amazing experience. The Burrup Peninsula is always a hive of activity - not sure what access to that you can observe now but in the past you could do a tour of the LNG plant, watch a video etc. Not sure now how much driving you can do around the headland at Wickam but we've done that and found some nice spots. There's a few good little beaches you can swim in, and Point Samson has the best fish and chip restaurant serving daily fresh catches. How's that for starters? Also - somewhere at a roadside stop under a bridge along the highway near town I found some incredible striped rocks that I believe are to be treasured so I took a sample and have it on my table as a momento. (I also have some pebbles from Carrawine Gorge in my fish tank for that matter - shhh! and some coloured desert sands in a bottle from the Simpson desert).

Thanks everyone for your replies, heading there tomorrow & will put all of your suggestions to good use.

Yep. Australia has the oldest art on the planet. Also the oldest hafted axe (Windjana Gorge) and the oldest ground edge axe.
