ART - ROCK ART.

Adnyamathanha rock art is associated with the ceremonies and rituals of the Adnyamathanha people. Paintings are located in covered areas such as caves. The materials used for painting are charcoal and coloured ochres that are combined with water or animal fat to produce paint. Many symbols used in Adnyamathanha rock art are still used in contemporary paintings.

 Traditional Adnyamathanha ceremonies ceased during the 1940's and now Adnyamathanha rock art is disappearing because it has not been touched up regularly through traditional ceremonies. An example of this is Arkaroo Rock in the south-east corner of Wilpena Pound which is 6000 years old.
