aboriginal graphic symbols and meanings

On our half-day afternoon tour of Alice Springs, we visited the Mbantua Aboriginal Cultural Museum. I am really quite interested in these graphics, and would like to investigate further, at some stage.

a rock wallaby

At dusk every evening rock wallabies would come down from the rocky slopes (part of the MacDonnell Ranges), in search of food. We didn't, but you could buy food for them, and they were quite happy to be handfed!

one hump or two

Seconds earlier these two camels had two girls crying with fear. All in a day's work I can hear them say!

They live on a camel farm down the highway en route from Alice Springs to Ayres Rock.
