Many of the rock art pictures were of the aborigine's food--Kangaroo, Wallaby, and tons of Barrimundi the local fish.

This is one of my favorite drawings-- it is a depiction of a white man. There are other pictures of white men--all have their hands in their pockets and have large feet because they wore boots. Sherry thinks that they are depicted with their hands in their pockets because they did not do any work--they made the Aborigines do the work. I think it may be a warning that the white man cannot be trusted--he is hiding something. What do you think?

Another 'salty' croc--they are primal scary looking critters.

This is a wild 'salty' or salt water crocodile--although this is a fresh water billabong. The crocs come inlan d during the wet season and get stuck, or just like to stay in the fresh water system. It is amusing that this water system is part of the Alligator River system--but Australia does not have Alligators. The explorer who charted this system saw numerous crocs and called them alligators.
