This episode titled ‘Boulders’, is an ancient tribal story of a young woman named Oolana who was in a promised marriage. Forsaking that marriage she broke the traditional law and fell in love with a warrior from a passing tribe. As this custom was forbidden she threw herself into the nearby river creating the formation of the Babinda Boulders as a result of her tears. Her spirit still resides in the water holes and over the year over 19 young men has drowned in these rockpools. It is said that Oolana is still looking for her lost love and occasionally she entices young men into the waters never to be seen again. I first visited this site as a young man and each time could feel the power from Ooolana’s spirit and along with others have managed to save 3 lives from certain peril.
