The boulder fields of Black Mountain National Park form an impressive and distinctive landscape of outstanding scenic value. This landscape is an important visual component of the ‘Cooktown experience’ as well as being of international conservation and geological significance.

The Eastern Kuku Yalanji People have a successful Native Title determination over Black Mountain National Park. Indigenous Land Use Agreements have been made that define how native title is articulated on the park. Traditional Owners continue to use the area for cultural activities and have ongoing commitments and cultural obligations in the management of the area.
