Australian Rock Art Sites

Australian Rock Art Sites are locations where ancient images and symbols are carved or painted on rock surfaces, created by Indigenous Australians over thousands of years. These artworks depict animals, humans, landscapes, and spiritual stories, serving as cultural records and communication tools. Found across Australia, especially in remote and protected areas, they offer valuable insights into Indigenous history, beliefs, and traditions. Preserved as UNESCO World Heritage Sites in some cases, these artworks are integral to Australia's cultural heritage and continue to be studied and respected today.
