For me it is very privilege that you liked beautiful places from the places I live in.

Are they from the end at Cullymurra waterhole??
These are from the caves/overhang at Laura in QLD on route to Cape York

Those look like pretty impressive (& intact) petroglyphs TPC. I've seen a reasonable amount of rock paintings, but the only petroglyphs I've seen were at N'dala gorge east of Alice which I failed to photograph & were nowhere near as impressive.

Is this painted, not cut from solid stone?

Yes Cullyamurra waterhole is the spot.
From memory they are carved into the stone, was about 10 years ago I was there.

@ wine maker They are painted using natural rock crushed up ochres. As with most tells a story of how things are what they are or were created from the "dreamtime"
Wanjinas and the serpent figure a fair bit in "dreamtime " stories.

At Cuppa there are other rock Petroglphys at Hammersely Gorge, and of course the "Bradshaws" as being rubbish paintings by our Aboriginals in the Kimberleys
Had the priviledge of meeting Nipper {tribal elder] at the Rock many years ago, Would not think many full bloods left IMO Nipper was one as was Mary.
