    Once surrounded by ancient seas, the iconic Arnhem Land escarpment or “stone country” is a great example of the relationship between Aboriginal people and the land. During the wet season this sandstone wall is transformed into a plentiful oasis, brimming with fish and birds to hunt. In the dry season, it’s shady caves and residual pools provide protection from the hot Australian sun. by: arnhemland Views[2516] Leaving Kakadu national park and crossing the East Alligator River into Arnhem Land the scenery changes like a slide in an old projector. Meandering down a red and dusty road, a lonesome sign stands fatigued with irony. by: arnhemland Views[1354] Garry Djorlom is an Aboriginal elder from Oenpelli, Western Arnhem Land, Northern Territory, Australia. He’s a softly spoken character with a warm, friendly nature. Like many Aboriginal elders, he’s also a storyteller. “If you have a story, don’t put it in your pocket and leave it there, take it out and share it with your family”. This particular image depicts Garry telling a story about how the echidna got its spikes. by: arnhemland Views[2588] Arnhem Land is alive and buzzing with creatures of all shapes and sizes. Many of the animals are not used to human coexistence around them, therefore display no fear when one approaches. This little skink came out to bath in the burning sun and was as curious in me as I was in it. by: pepstwolf Views[417] The rock art found within the Kakadu National Park in Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory. The emotion that is stirred within, when the simple ancient art of a child from 50,000 years ago is a clear and bright as it was the day it was done. It connect us deeply to our humanity. by: pepstwolf Views[637]
