Abstract
Human interactions with the world and each other across time are most clearly represented in one of the most enduring legacies of humanity – rock art. Found around the world, the creativity and complex cultural interactions and associations of First Nations peoples are illustrated in these paintings, engravings and other media, conveying inherent understandings of relationships with Country, culture and kin. Here in Australia, this creative practice is shared by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in cultural landscapes stretching across the country from the remote tropical north of Western Australia to the cold landscapes of Tasmania.
