We then take the Basin Track Tour. This rock engraving site was used as a classroom for my people. We will show you how we do rock art and how my people managed the bush and looked after it. We’ll show you how the bush looked after us.
Rock art and engraving
While visiting Aboriginal sites you will learn how our traditional styles of art were created over the generations and hear stories our ancestors possibly told their children a long time ago, one site we visit is an education site.
My people didn’t have to go far for anything, it was all provided for us in a very close vicinity.
We guarantee you will never look at our rock sites the same way again.
