Raft Point

Raft Point

Raft Point is an imposing bluff rising from the middle of Doubtful Bay in the heart of Worrora country. For sweeping coastal vistas over neighbouring Steep Island, climb 150m above the beach to reach a sandstone overhang, Here, rock canvases are crowded with ochre art of the Wandjina, who has great importance for the Wororra, Ngarinyin and Wumumbul peoples. With large, round eyes and halos around their heads, Wandjinas are associated with rain and seasonal regeneration. Their location, high on the bluff, really makes you wonder about the amazing resourcefulness of the Indigenous people who have lived and thrived off this remote country for thousands of years.
