Aboriginal people sculptured into a rock in Flinders Ranges.

This picture fascinated my friend Jaro Vojtko. As he expressed himself, it is amazing way, how to express, that Aboriginal people integrated themselves into the environment... The name of the rock is Akaroo Rock. Anyway, this picture has been done in Flinders Ranges not far from Port Augusta, where I together with Catherine & Janette did some two half-day tracks to the top of the huge natural hollow basin with diameter of about 10-15 kms. There was an ancient farmhouse called Homestead, inhabitants of which enjoyed great success in raising sheep. They raised so many sheep in the end, that they destroyed all green grass in the hollow basin. And that was the end of farmhouse...
