Bushwalk to Bulgandry Aboriginal Rock Carvings

This week all of the artists were treated to a very special visit to the Aboriginal site of the Bulgandry Rock Carvings. A short  walk through the bush, followed a wooden footpath to a large  rock platform that displayed a variety of well preserved  Aboriginal rock carvings. Bulgandry is actually the name of the ancestral warrior hero depicted in one of the carvings on this site. 

We were given our own personal tour by the lovely Gabi Duncan, who spoke to us about the beliefs and traditions of the Aboriginal Dream time Culture. Gabi also taught us a few choice Aboriginal dance moves, and spoke of the significance of Aboriginal names. Its all in the vid below. Check it!
