Upside Down Man cave

Just across from Neil and Jieon's house is a deep gorge - on the other side is this amazing cave with aboriginal rock paintings.




















The drawings are built up over one another with little regard for the underlying layer - most are done in ochre, some are rubbed into the rock surface.








There is one exception to this and that is the figure of the Upside Down man - a very unusual figure anyway but also clearly demarcated by the space all around it.
