Ancient Ochres
by David Andrew Roberts and Adrian Parker
The Mount Borradaile region in northern Arnhem Land in the “Top End” of the Northern Territory contains some of the most stunning rock paintings, not just in Australia but in the whole world. In terms of artistic quality, quantity, colorfulness and excellent state of preservation, this body of rock art is unrivalled. The walls of hundreds of rock-shelters are decorated with innumerable pictures documenting traditional Aboriginal life over many thousands of years. Subjects range from now-extinct animals to twentieth century sailing ships, and art techniques are equally varied, including stencils and the rare use of beeswax to portray the eyes and other features of some figures. As in much of Australian Aboriginal art, the largest and most elaborate paintings with finely drawn internal decoration portray Ancestral Beings from the Dreaming, the era of Creation. Such sites are of significance to Aboriginal traditional owners, who still recount stories describing the travels of the Rainbow Serpent and other Creative Ancestors across the landscape.

The Tjulkurra - Billy Stockman Tjapaltjarri
by Margo Birnburg and Janusz B. Kreczmanski
Billy Stockman Tjapaltjarri was born around 1928 and is a member of the Anmatyerre people. As a new born baby he was caught up in ‘The Coniston Massacre’ which took place at Brooks Soak - the baby, asleep in his coolamon, was hidden under a bush by his terrified mother. Only the baby and those who were out hunting or visiting other tribal groups at the time survived. Billy was adopted by his mother’s sister, brought up as one of her own and was initiated in the sacred secret world of an Aboriginal man. He became proficient in speaking English early in his career and continued working as a stockman until the late 1960’s. He then went to live at Papunya and met Geoffrey Bardon who was the catalyst for the artistic expression among Aboriginal men living there. In 1972 the Papunya Tula Artists Company was formed. Billy is now a famous artist, he has travelled extensively and his works have been displayed in major centres around the world. This is the story of the now White-haired man the ‘Tjulkurra’ a story of courage and hope.
