Finch Bay Cooktown Australia
The massive size of these boulders is not apparent when you first arrive at Finch Bay, you can see them in the distance, it's not until you make your way up the beach that you realise their immense size.
As we approached the northern end of the beach one of these large granite boulders embedded in the sand resembled a huge beached whale.

Cultural history of Black Mountain National Park:
The National Park's Black Mountains are a heavily significant feature of the Kuku Nyungkal people's cultural landscape known locally to Aboriginal Australians as Kalkajaka (trans: place of spear).
Queensland's Department of Environment and Natural Resources has been advised of at least four sites of particular mythological significance within the Black Mountains as follows:[5]
There are at least four sites of religious or mythological significance on the mountain. These are the Kambi, a large rock with a cave where flying-foxes are found; Julbanu, a big grey kangaroo-shaped rock looking toward Cooktown; Birmba, a stone facing toward Helenvale where sulphur-crested cockatoos are seen; and a taboo place called Yirrmbal near the foot of the range.
The Black Mountain also features strongly in local, more non-Aboriginal cultural landscapes, some of which has also been described by Queensland's Department of Environment and Resource Management as follows:[5]
When European colonists arrived late last century, they added to the many Aboriginal legends of the area with a few of their own. Stories abound of people, horses and whole mobs of cattle disappearing into the labyrinth of rocks, never to be seen again
It is believed that those who vanished most probably fell into one of the chasms under the rocks or after entering one of these places became lost. It is estimated only three in ten would survive such falls, wandering below the Earth's surface with only ground water streams and insects to nourish them. This minority group are referred to by tourists as Outback Moles (perhaps in reference to New York's underground population)
The national park's distinctive hard granite boulders and range originally formed out of magma that first slowly solidified under the Earth's crust about 250 million years ago

Cooktown Pictorial - Queensland.
Cooktown is located on the top half of Australia on the coast in Queensland.
Its about the end of the main sealed road and from there on the roads can often be closed due to poor conditions. A nice clean town that also has a botanic gardens well worth a visit. Crocodiles can roam the coast in this area.
