Summary

Description
English: This is a picture taken by Wright.T, in March 2007

It shows an Aboriginal sacred site, with a fifty thousand year old cave painting of Biamie, an Aboriginal Mythology Creator God.

Biamie was a powerful male god, and several things in the picture emphasize this, for example, the white ochre circle around the figures navel, the white armbands and the outlines of tools generally associated with males, like the stone axe and the hunting boomerang.

His large arms signify bringing together, like a hug, and the seven white lines under his armpits symbolize the seven nearby tribes.
