Stepping back in time

Hi All
One of the special treats about touring with Bookabee Tours Australia is the ability to travel to places generally considered closed to Tourism. As an Adnyamathanha (pron. Ud-nah-mut-an-ah) person, I can visit many places around the Flinders Ranges where my grand father took me to when i was younger. The best part is I can also share many of his stories.
This place is among many others like it, where the spiritual significance just exudes from the surroundings. The picture depicts an etching of an owl along side other etchings. The site has long been known as a place where Adnyamathanha allowed members of other groups to pass through our land. It contains many etching believed to be from right across Australia. It's a great place to visit to re-energize and recharge the batteries.
Anyhow, for more check the website.
Cheers
Haydyn...
