Whaling scene at Djulirri Rock Shelter in the Wellington Range – the harpoon has just been launched and the cable stretches for metres across the rock face before hitting a painted whale.

One of the incredible and beautiful figures found by the rock art team in the Wellington Range
This shows the kind of rock outcrop where the art was found – if you look carefully you can see the team working, antlike in the shelter

It’s just incredible. Weird and poignant in a way. What a story.
Having seen some rock art in that area it is amazing that more have not been discovered. Great Story ,hope you can tell us more.
Having recently visited Arnhen Land and being over awed by the rock art we congratulate you for bringing this to the world. I hope that in the near future I can too visit this exiting place as a paying tourist and thus help provide funds to preserve it for all times.
Thank you for sharing – the world can seem so large with all the places I would like to visit. It is great to see pitures and looking at photos never takes away from the awe of anywhere if I do get there.
