- Summary:
-
Paintings at Munurra span thousands of years, with depictions of plants from the earliest Archiac Period, people dressed up for ceremony (Tasslede Figures, Bent Knee Figures and Straight Part figures), thylacines (Tasmanian tigers, extinct on mainland Australia for 3,000 years) from the Painted Hand Period, and three panels of brightly coloured Wandjina, the god-like ancestors who bring each wet season's rains. Munurru contains the most visited painting sites in the Kimberley, and this bok should assist with an understanding and appreciation of this early Australian art.
