We then stopped in a place for lunch that had a strip mall of shops, it is the town of the Aborigine people. I walked around the area. In the streets I noticed the Aborigine people very dark skinned, the men have long grayish beards. I took a walk over to where the park was where I went behind and there happened to be a small skate park area. I sat on the bleachers and watched two boys riding their bicycles up and down the ramps.
We went to an area where we met an Aborigine tour guide who would take us to a place that is off the normal path for tourists. The tour guide brought us through the rainforest and showed us some of their oldest customs. There was a small area where they had tree bark put together and a fire was going. The smoke that was coming from the area was a symbol of their culture to worship the wildlife, and appreciate peace?
We continued on the path where we were taken to an area where we could take a dip in the river. There were rapids coming down and lots of large rocks surrounding the rapids.
The tour guide was making paint using the rainforest tree pushes, rocks, and dirt. He was painting people's faces. This is an Aborigine symbol of their culture, known as war paint.
After the tour through the rainforest, we headed to a place that makes homemade ice-cream. In one cup of ice cream you get four scoops which you can choose different flavors. The tour guide told us, there are many unique flavors made on a daily basis. When flavors run out, all new flavors are made on the spot.
There was very much vegetation and wildlife in the vicinity as I walked around.
I walked down the road a little bit and discovered these amazing trees. Take a look below at what they were.
