#RockArt depicting the iconic #RainbowSerpent, and other large-format #paintings, became far more common in #ArnhemLand after European settlement, reflecting a broad shift in style, materials, and technique.

Blood may have helped ancient Chinese rock art survive for 2,000 years

Ancient paintings on limestone cliffs in southern China have survived more than 2,000 years of heat, rain, and storms. A new study suggests their unusual durability came from a paint binder made from lime and blood...

Murujuga petroglyphs - putting a "very rosy spin" on the scientific findings

"Federal Environment Minister Murray Watt was advised emissions from Woodside's Karratha Gas Plant may be having an adverse effect on the rock art, before he granted the company an extension to keep operating there for another 40 years."

We have had our annual monitoring day today, where we log and photograph the conditions of all of the assets in our care at the Wemyss coast.
Caves, paths (not the Fife Coastal Path) and carvings.
And the weather was mostly wonderful, although the most recent storms have made the paths pretty tricky to navigate in places.
Looking forward to welcome visitors back for tours from the 7th April!
