Kalkajaka, the mysterious Black Mountain - This Place

To traditional owners, Kalkajaka is a sacred battle field of both spirits and warring clan groups.
To tourists, Black Mountain is the eerie and striking landform along the Trevathan Range many feel compelled to stop at on their drive to Cooktown in far north Queensland.
The mass of massive, granite boulders towers over the landscape; black and barren, in stark contrast to the scrubby green savannah below.
Black Mountain is a place of mystery and legend to Indigenous and non-Indigenous alike, dubbed the 'Bermuda Triangle' of far north Queensland due to stories dating back to the late 1800s of disappeared people, horses and whole mobs of cattle.
