Aboriginal Art...

Land on a sandy beach, climb to a cave or rocky outcrop, admire wonderful aboriginal artworks spanning a time frame of 40,000 years.
The oldest art we saw was the simple pattern of dots shown in the middle of the collage, underneath the beach.
All of the art we saw on our various activities was on protected, aboriginal land and we were happy to pay the traditional owners, who were kind enough to allow us to visit these sites.

That is gorgeous. I am hoping to see some scenes like this. Currently on a flight from Brisbane to Darwin. It is the first time I have used Wifi on a flight. - a good chance to catch up looking at some photos.

It must be an amazing feeling to look at the pictures and see what an ancient person was trying to communicate. Great collage!

@olivetreeann Hi Ann - you have expressed the feeling perfectly. It is simply amazing.

@pusspup Hi Wylie - they took us to 3 different art sites - each with art from a different era and different group of people. Fascinating!

@sangwann Hi Dione - what you have said is so true. The art works are very fragile and easily damaged. The sites are now back in the hands of the traditional owners and much easier to protect.
