Rock Art
The Aborigines have been in Australia for 20,000 years and they've been painting for just as long. We were shown a few rock art sites. The ones at Nourlangie rock were particularly nice. Some were used for decoration, some tell stories, but interestingly they were also used for education. Some of the pictures of the Kangaroos for example so their insides and colour code their muscles to show what the tastiest parts were.
