Rock Paintings of Aboriginal Australia

Product Description

Mysterious, dramatic, enlightening...The Aboriginal rock paintings of Australia are extraordinary glimpses into a culture older than European civilisations, yet remain immensely vibrant today.
Australia's world-famous Aboriginal rock art can be found all over the country, from Tasmania to the Kimberley. The painting depict everyday events such as hunting and corroborees, as well as the places and stories of legendary creator ancestors. 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.
