Australian Aboriginal Art - Jemma Unghango
Gwion Gwion rock art figures are found in the north-west Kimberly
region of Western Australia. They were first discovered by Joseph
Bradshaw, a pastoralist, in 1891.
The rock art depicts the Gwion Gwion, which are believed by Woonumbul,
Worora and Nygarijw tribes to be the first people. After the Boss
Wandjina created the Gwion Gwion, he gave them law and order.
The particular Gwion Gwion shown in this painting are hunting gods,
who tell people the good places to hunt and the places to avoid. They
are shown with bags, tassles and headdresses.
