Lookout
Aborigine Rock Art # Lighting Man
Namarrgon, lightning man, at Anbangbang gallery. At Nourlangie you can see how local Aboriginal people lived in this area through changing times.
Environmental and social changes are reflected in the rock art and in the ground, where archaeologists have uncovered over 20,000 years of Aboriginal occupation.
This photo is the Namarrgon (Lighting Man) apart of the Aboriginal dreaming. From his place on the escarpment, Namarrgon watches for the first wet season storms.
Aborigine Rock Art #Whiteman
Kakadu National Park in the Northern Territory is just an unbelievable place, big and hot to say the least.
I've seen rock art in Victoria and was blown away but up here in the Territory its incredible and just so beautiful.
This photo taken represents just the tiniest sample of the Rock Art in the territory. This image tells many stories but particularly of hunting. But for Aboriginal people this is the introduction of white man. Can you see him (white man) with his hands in his pockets (centre right).
