Paintings
of sailboats, ocean liners, and biplanes adorn newfound rock
shelters in the remote Aboriginal territory of Arnhem Land
in northern Australia.
Researchers working with
Aboriginal elder Ronald Lamilami discovered thousands of the
paintings--including the largest rock-art site in
Australia--during an expedition in August and September
2008.
"Some of these images have unique depictions not found
anywhere else," said Tacon, who is part of the research
project.
"One site, previously undocumented, is the
largest painting site in the whole of Australia," he said.
"It is truly amazing."
