Anbangbang Gallery
Rock art was usually painted to illustrate a story. Perhaps a creation story, a hunting experience, or some other aspect of life. If you were not there when a painting was done, it is hard to know exactly what the story was. Some stories are not for everyone to know, some rock art is sacred and not for everyone to see.
Traditional owners have provided this information about this gallery:
1. Namarrgon - the Lightening Man. He wears his lightening as a band around him connecting his arms, legs and head. Stone axes on his knees and elbows make the thunder.
2. Barrginj is Namarrgon's wife. She and Namarrgon are parents to Aljurr or the Leichart's grasshoppers which appear as the first storms break.
3. Namarndjolg and his sister broke the incest laws on the rock ledge above this gallery. He later became Ginga, the great saltwater crocodile.
4. Family groups of men and woman on their way to a ceremony.
5. Guluibirr, the saratoga fish, is a popular food fished from the waterways nearby.
