Day 8 - Aboriginal Burials Munurru

This particular rocky outcrop that was home to all of the rock art also housed an example of the burial process of the local indigenous people. This small crevice held the remains of a number of deaths.
The process of cremation and burial was explained to us and I am sorry that I can't remember it - it's an age thing. All that I can recall is that it was a multi stage process that involved shifting the remains one or two times as they went on to the next part of the process.
(I couldn't find a collage maker that enabled me to imbed a smaller photo into a large one. Any suggestions?)

Great shot(s), very interesting. I think you can play with the sizes or even formation of photos in a collage in Picasa. You can also do this in Photoshop.

Interesting diptych and story. I only know how to do this in Photoshop, but I would imagine that you would be able to do this in Picmonkey too.
