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.
