Bunjils Shelter Rock Art
Bunjils Shelter is home to the only known rock art depiction of the Aboriginal creator spirit Bunjil. This shelter is one of five Aboriginal art sites open to the public in The Grampians in Victoria.
Aboriginal people believe that Bunjil created all that the people saw: the land, the water, the trees, plants and animals. They also believed that Bunjil set the laws and the religion, hence their reverence in respecting Bunjil.
Although the age of the painting is not known, the pigments of the paint used have been tested, and it is estimated that the painting is thousands of years old.
The Grampians (Gariwerd) National Park is 260 kilometres west of Melbourne and has fantastic hiking trails, beautiful waterfalls, superb lookouts and a large variety of birds and wildlife.
There is an interesting information board at the start of the walk.
