Different Kalkadoon Tribe rock art sites deep within the Selwyn Ranges carbon dated at 17.500 years old. Kangaroo or emu blood was mixed with the red ochre so it absorbed deep into the rocks.
A history buff that's not impressed. Just what did you expect these old Myall's to be painting 17,000 years ago? I was born in Pitta Pitta country and spent the majority of my young life in Kalkadoon country and can tell you this is exactly what they were painting. I have also climbed around various parts of the Selwyn ranges looking at rock art exactly like this. Why don't you take a look on this site and buff up your history. http://www.cherneesutton.com.au/kalkadoon-history.html
The Kalkadoon information and images should be placed in the Aboriginal rock art map site at http://www.thisisart.com.au Who would like help me consolidate the pictures and ensure that the information is correct? Rob Curator This is Art
It looks like something 1st graders do with finger paint. I consider myself a history buff and I'm not impressed at all here. But I do like the way they exploit honey pot ants as a resource.
