A richly photographed tour of three Australian rock art regions: Cape York Peninsula in the northeast, the Wardaman tribal land in northwestern Northern Territory and Kakadu National Park in northeastern Northern Territory. Remnants of Aboriginal culture still survive in these outback places-well separated from the coastal cities where most of the new populations reside. With no written language, the Aboriginals' oral stories are their history, evocatively illustrated in pictographs and petroglyphs on the walls of their rock shelters. Much of the art illuminates events from the creation, or dreamtime, when trees could walk and animals could talk. 68 pages, 75 color images
