My thanks to Dave at http://www.davesact.com/2010/08/namadgi-rock-art-video.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+http%2Fdavesactblogspotcom%2Ffeeds%2Fposts%2Fdefaultaltrss+%28Dave%27s+ACT%29&utm_content=Google+Reader  for bringing this video to my attention. I lived on an Aboriginal reserve in Arnham Land for a couple of months, and was privaliged to be allowed to see the sacred rock paintings in that area, for which I had to request special permission and was supplied with a native guide.
