Little Rocky Creek

The Grinding Grooves Indigenous site at Little Rocky Creek, Landsborough.

Boondall Wetlands

I've always wondered what is in the Boondall Wetlands area each time I drive down the Gateway Motorway. Now I know. And you can too when you stop in and go for a walk or ride a bike around the tracks in the area and follow the Indigenous trail markers, a lookout and signs for birdlife.

Museum

A visit to the Queensland Museum always brings something new. This photo of a photo of a painting of a scene helps to bring Australia's ancient past to life. It certainly would have been very different having land animals as human predators in Australia. Camping would not have been quite so carefree with giant carnivorous animals roaming the outback.

Figures

Sun Rock

Rock Carved

These carved figures in the rock at Three Steps are still looking fresh after many years in the sun.

Elder

An elder character takes a walk across the land of Woodfordia.

Story Board

These paintings on the rock would tell a very important story to those who have the knowledge to read them.

Orion The Hunter

Orion the hunter sets over Battle Mountain. Also known as the canoe to some Indigenous cultures of  northern Australia. The hunter appears to stand guardian over the mountain below. In a modern interpretation, the belt and sword of Orion could be seen as a giant mouse pointer in the sky

Emu Rising

The Emu in the sky rises to walk the dry land once more. This is a star formation recognised only by the Indigenous people of Australia, the only continent that has emus.

Indigenous Painting

Some paintings left behind by people long ago at a cool waterhole near Mount Isa.

Bora Ring

If you take a drive from the Wild Horse lookout and cross the highway you will come to a sign that points to this Aboriginal site. A Bora, also called a Durn, is a place of meeting for ceremony and discussion.
