AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Mysterious, dramatic, enlightening . . . The Aboriginal rock paintings of Australia are extraordinary glimpses into a culture older than European civilisations, yet still immensely vibrant today. Australia's world-famous Aboriginal rock art can be found all over the country, from Tasmania to the Kimberley. The paintings depict everyday events such as hunting and corroborees, as well as myths and legends. Fish, wombats, kangaroos and snakes weave their way across the rock, as do the often haunting Dreamtime figures of lightning spirits, serpents and sky-beings.' (Source: QBD website)
