rock art

Ubirr, Kakadu National Park

The notice with this said, in full:
"This painting of Mabayu reminds Aboriginal people to tell a story which warns against stealing.
Mabayu was dragging his catch on a string after a fishing expedition when a greedy person cut the string and stole his fish.
That night, Mabayu waited until the thieves had eaten his fish and were camped inside their cave near the East Alligator River. Then he blocked the cave with a huge rock."


other sizes: small medium original auto

We - here in North America - need a similar drawing that depicts against throwing trash roadside!
