Aboriginal Art in Northern Queensland, Australia

Well, it's certainly a long way from NYC but here we are in North Eastern Australia in search of the real deal: authentic aboriginal rock art, that is. Well, after being inundated with innumerable "aboriginal" art galleries in all of the tourist centers, I finally got to see some of the actual rock art in situ. I imagine it's almost like seeing the cave paintings at Lascaux in France or Altimara, Spain (also on my list of things to see).
While there has been little of worth to see in any of the "galleries" in Port Douglas, Cairns, Palm Cove or in the Daintree Village, Mother Nature has provided us with more wildlife than I have seen in a lifetime.

Hey, you have a great blog here! I'm definitely going to bookmark you!
I have a art website art print on demand

That promotes my very good friend Mark Connors artwork that pretty much covers art print on demand
articles and other related themes.
Mark's work is the produce of his passion for art, when looking at every piece the attention to detail is nothing short of spectacular and many a person will notice different details upon each viewing, they are truly a joy to observe. There are many talented artists around the world but few achieve the effect in their work as Mark does, when looking at his work that there is more than just a painting or a illustration there is a element of fantasy behind each piece that brings the inner child out of you and draws you in.
Come and check it out if you get time :-)
