Before the arrival of the "White Fella" who had found his way into the Red Heart, while searching out the best route for a Telegraph Line, to connect Southern and Northern Australia, The ancient Aboriginal Inhabitants communicated via their Songs, Stories, Rituals and Art. 

Their Art was either etched into rock or painted on rock faces or in caves using crushed ochres found from around the region. 

This changed in the early 1970s, when the very first modern styles of Aboriginal Art were born at Papunya community. 

There a "White Fella" school teacher Geoffrey Bardon invited the Elders to experiment with paint on boards and canvas and portray their Traditional Dreaming Stories. 

What followed was the "Birth" of modern aboriginal art...Now  World renowned and much sought after.

The aim of our Web Site primarily is to give wider recognition to the featured Artists within the galleries and expose the region of Central Australia where the Inspiration for their works and Art have evolved.
