Some art, its a few thousand years old so it's a bit faded. From a couple of sites in Kakadu National Park.

The second photo is just rocks ie a bare canvas

Not really some are just pictures of local animals, the Rainbow Serpent is part of the Aboriginal dreamtime story and creation but I know little about it.

Love these ancient messages from the past, we have plenty of rock carvings, the nature and meaning of which are lost in time.
