Aboriginal Cave Paintings

We went on a walk to see some Aboriginal cave paintings. I had to climb a big ladder to get up to the first cave. A sign told us what all the drawings mean. The one that looks like an arrow is for a kangaroo footprint. The Aboriginal people use crushed rocks (ochre) to make the pictures. The hand prints they do by chewing up the ochre and spitting around their hand to make an outline - yuck.
