I took this pic in a remote locality in WA.

It does seem to be quite old but then again, without having the science behind me, I cannot tell for sure. It couid be quite recent too!

It does look like a vehicle with wheels in red ochre and another conveyance with a wheel behind it in yellow ochre

Willem, hello, good to see you again!

It looks rather like the old Landrover I used to pedal around Woomera in the 50's. And although I got well down-range I don't think I ever crossed the border. LOL

Cheers
Allan

Hey Willem - great to see you back!

Very interesting... one that Erik Von Danniken (spelling?) missed eh?

Looks a bit like a GQ shorty towing a pram :)

Cheers

I sent one final shout after him to stick to the track, to which he replied “All right,” That was the last ever seen of Gibson - E Giles 23 April 1874

G'day Willem

Nice image and no doubt a nice location, most of these concentric circle type Ochre paintings and Petroglyph's indicate a body of water being near by.

Not to sure in this case ~ looks very much like an "Austin baby " from the 1950's. Maybe the art is depicting what the artist actually did see?

Good to see you are back in more ways than one, regards to Judith.

Welcome back.
I'm no good at picture puzzles, but if you squint hard, and look half sideways, it could depict a steam train with the smoke broiling back along the top, and multiple wheels under it.
Or is the large mass behind it an oil spill from a 3 litre Turbo Nissan blowing a piston?

Willem - if you get a copy of a book "Cape York the Savage Frontier" by Rodney Liddell it may throw some light on why a lot of aboriginal painting appear with relative modern themes. It is a good read.

After hearing that the goverment give the indigenous people a grant to touch

up these paintings now and again,maybe an overzealous one updated a

10,000 year old one to a modern theme just to confuse everyone.

Willem

That would be my GQ towing the old Viscount van!
We were out at Walga Rock east of Cue recently - jeez they sure record history quick in that neck of the bush!

On a serious note, Walga Rock has left me with memories to last a lifetime, a very special spiritual place.
