Welcome

The Quinkan and Regional Cultural Centre is the first stop for all travellers to Laura.

The Cultural Centre provides visitors with a welcome to Quinkan Country and region, and insights into its past, present and future. Owned and operated by the local community, it was established with support of the Qld. Heritage Trails Network.

• The Cultural Centre showcases all aspects of Quinkan Country including, Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal heritage, and the natural environment. There is something of interest for everyone – from the keen fisherman to young families!
• Guided tours can be booked from the Cultural Centre, including tours to world famous Aboriginal art galleries such as Split Rock, Mushroom Rock & Giant Horse Gallery. Split Rock is the most popular site and is well set up with boardwalks, interpretive information, toilet and car park. An honesty fee of $5.00 is applied to cover basic maintenance costs at the site. It is just 12km south of Laura.
• The Cultural Centre also provides information on other attractions within Quinkan Country and around Cape York Peninsula and also has a select range of regional Aboriginal arts and crafts available for sale.
