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.
Famous quotes containing the word stones:
“The real pleasure of being Mick Jagger was in having everything but being tempted by nothing ... a smouldering ill will which silk clothes, fine food, wine, women, and every conceivable physical pampering somehow aggravated ... a drained and languorous, exquisitely photogenic ennui.”
—Anonymous “Chronicler.” Quoted in Philip Norman, The Life and Good Times of the Rolling Stones (1989)
