Aboriginal Paintings

Title – Aboriginal Paintings
Date – August 1998
Location - Kakadu National Park - Northern Territories - Australia

This long necked terrapin Aborigine Painting in the Northern Territories of Australia is just one example of many ancient rock paintings found throughout the region. No visit to Australia is complete without learning a little bit about the history of the country and what it was like just a few hundred years ago, before Captain Cook dropped anchor in Botany Bay.

Australia is proud of its heritage and the tours run by aborigines themselves really bring the subject of the ‘Dream Time’ to life.

At Beyond The Blue, we realises the importance of cultural awareness and we examine the subject in our Gap Year and Independent Travel Safety & Awareness workshop, run to allow those attending to prepare for their travels.
