About 5kms from our Munurru camp, was another aboriginal rock painting site. This site was just a rocky outcrop on an otherwise flat plain and contained many more paintings (accessible ones at least) than the site we visited o our way back from Mitchell Falls.
In answer to a question from @lyndemc regarding the colours of the aboriginal rock paintings, I found this explanation in Wikipedia "Many of the ancient rock paintings maintain vivid colours because they have been colonised by bacteria and fungi, such as the black fungus, Chaetothyriales. The pigments originally applied may have initiated an ongoing, symbiotic relationship between black fungi and red bacteria".
No need to comment again, just telling a story.
Well even I have to admit that this is one of the finest depictions of a symbiotic relationship between black fungi and red bacteria that I have seen in quite a while. Why do I get the impression that there was an ancient aboriginal Hooters back in the day?
@stray_shooter They used to use their saliva to mix the ochre and other colours for the paints. In paintings where you see the impression of a hand, the used to wash the mix around in their mouths and spray it over their hand and onto the rocks.
