Bouncing stones

Bouncing stones

The Bouncing Stones Site or beach is in the Daintree National Park in the far north of Queensland, Australia. The site is sacred to the Kuku Yalanji Aboriginals of the area and was an area where the women of the tribe discussed their secret women's business. The site takes its name because stones can be bounced off one another in a similar fashion to bouncing balls. People who take stones from the beach are supposedly cursed.

The Leyland Brothers TV series visited this beach in one of their episodes.
